LEMONGRASS

The Oil of Awareness and Purification

Do you often feel sore after exercising? I sure do! dōTERRA’s Lemongrass Essential Oil is perfect for a massage when combined with fractioned coconut oil after a hard workout. I love layering our exclusive Deep Blue Soothing Blend, and then another layer with Deep Blue Rub.

Many masseuses ALL love it when I bring it along with me to my appointment! They get the emotional benefits, as well as the cooling, energizing and soothing sensation they also, get to experience on their hands, when they deep tissue massage me:))). Massaging hands get tired, they work so hard!

Massage is a form of proactive healthcare I strongly believe should be made available to everybody. An investment into a massage is an investment into your health. Are you reading closely love? See where this is going now? Elevated glowing health and radiance takes form through many different facets of your well-being. Massage therapy is no exception!! Human touch is, literally; necessary for our happiness and survival.

When you add dōTERRA Lemongrass to your essential oil collection, you will experience healthy digestion, feelings of peace and awareness, and a soothing sensation when used on muscles and joints. Consider adding it to your skin care regimen to promote a refreshing feeling. It’s just so purifying for the skin. Try putting just one drop into your favorite bedtime moisturizer, and over time, watch yourself begin to glow!

Use Lemongrass in your food or beverages to add flavor and provide additional dietary support. Lemongrass has a subtle citrus flavor that promotes healthy digestion. I am super psyched about Lemongrass, because when I smelled the actual plant, in the grocery store last week – the scent was very mild when compared to just one drop of our essential oil variety.

It is so pure, so potent, that just ONE DROP is really all you need!

I love it in my attempt at Asian cooking. Plus it’s delicious in hot apple cider, or apple juice; even for the most stringent connoisseur. (Er …by that I mean my son.) I love spraying it on my finger and toenails before bed, keeping them clean and healthy. I am adding it to my evening skincare routine next!

How will you use Lemongrass next? Read about’s it’s origins!

You can diffuse Lemongrass when feeling nervous or to assist with fatigue. This unique essential oil has a pungent, herbaceous aroma, and is known to heighten awareness and promote a positive outlook. 🌞

Growing and harvesting quality Lemongrass is no easy task, but for some small groups of family farmers in Southern India, its truly their passion and way of life. When it’s time to harvest the Lemongrass, these farmers hike five miles up a steep mountain and spend about seven days harvesting a 100-acre plantation—by hand. Once they are finished, they take the harvested lemongrass and walk five miles down the mountain while balancing a large bundle of lemongrass on their heads.

To sum it up, with every drop of dōTERRA Lemongrass essential oil, you will experience a refreshing aroma that relaxes your mind and helps you keep a more positive outlook on life. The subtle citrus flavor of Lemongrass is often used in Asian cuisine and herbal teas, and when taken internally, Lemongrass delivers many benefits to your digestive system. A few drops of Lemongrass is an ideal component in massage therapy.
