Our lemongrass essential oil is steam distilled from fields of rich, green grasses cultivated in India. Lemongrass is a fast-growing, tall, aromatic, perennial grass which grows up to 1.5m high.
We need 30 kg of the grass to receive 1 kg of essential oil.
Lemongrass is wonderfully rich and pungent oil that energizes the mind and body. It has been used in many Eastern cultures for thousands of years as an accompaniment to meditation and prayer. Lemongrass essential oil is used extensively in India and Pakistan as a medicine for infectious illness and fevers and it also acts as an insecticide.
