LEMONGRASS OIL
Lemongrass oil undergoes a steam distillation process, derived from dried lemongrass—a tall, fragrant, rapidly growing perennial grass predominantly found in Asia. True to its name, Lemongrass oil emits a lemon-like fragrance, albeit with a gentler and milder quality, featuring subtle sweetness. Distilled from the shoot part of the lemongrass plant, this essential oil exhibits hues ranging from yellow to brownish-yellow and boasts remarkable aromatherapy and medicinal attributes. Its applications span from purifying oily skin and addressing bacterial or microbial infections to promoting acne healing and mitigating excessive perspiration.
Derived primarily through indigenous distillation methods, this elixir is crafted from the grass known as Andropogon citratus, which thrives abundantly in various regions of India. Manifesting as a mobile liquid of yellow or yellowish-brown hue, it emanates an aroma akin to verbena, earning it the occasional moniker of Indian verbena oil. Renowned for its aromatic finesse, this oil plays a pivotal role in perfume and scented soap production, serving as a key reservoir for the synthesis of citral, a vital component in the creation of ionone, the essence behind artificial violets.
Prized for its myriad applications, lemongrass oil emerges as a revitalizing force, alleviating the aftermath of jetlag, dispelling headaches, and combating the effects of nervous exhaustion and stress-related ailments. Beyond its aromatic charm, it serves as a holistic tonic for the body, bolstering the parasympathetic nervous system—a valuable asset during convalescence, as it simultaneously stimulates glandular secretions.
The versatility of lemongrass oil extends to its impact on musculature and tissue, offering relief from muscle pains by enhancing suppleness. Not confined to personal well-being, it aids in rectifying poor circulation and doubles as an effective insect repellent. Notably, it extends its protective influence to pets, ensuring their cleanliness by warding off fleas, ticks, and lice.
