Lemongrass (Cymbopogan citratus)

Lemongrass Oil can be applied externally at 10 drops or so, directly to the affected area in cases of athlete's foot, cuts, scrapes, lower back pain, sciatica, sprains, tendonitis, neuralgia, circulatory problems, and rheumatism. It can also be tried on the face to help clear up acne and clean pores; the fresh leaves can also be crushed and rubbed on the skin as an on-the-spot outdoor insect repellent.

Use Lemongrass in the bath for a soothing aromatherapy experience by placing a mesh bag with a handful of leaves under the running bath water, then letting the bag soak in the water with you as you bathe—enjoy instantaneous relaxation!
