H2H Lemongrass essential oil is extracted through the process of steam distillation of dried lemongrass. Lemongrass is known by the scientific names Cymbopogon Citratus or Andropogon Citratus. The main constituents of its essential oil are Myrcene, Citronellal, Geranyl Acetate, Nerol, Geraniol, Neral, Limonene and Citral.
As the name implies, lemongrass smells just like lemons and has a fresh, grassy, herbaceous, citrus aroma and earthy undertones
Lemongrass has traditionally been used in Ayurveda as a stimulant with its many benefits for the body and mind when added to a carrier oil. Its antiseptic and astringent properties make it perfect for getting even and glowing skin. It also purifies pores, serves as a natural toner and strengthens skin structure. Applying it to the scalp strengthens hair follicles, controls hair loss and leaves hair shiny and fresh. The citral and limonene content stifles bacterial and fungal to avoid skin infections. Topical application also helps alleviate headaches, pain and wards off insects and germs. The relaxing and hypnotic smell relieves anxiety, irritability, and insomnia.
