Organic essential oil LEMONGRASS is obtained by steam distillation of leaves – Cymbopogon flexuosus. It comes into Amon & Anis bottles from organic plantations in India. This essential oil is certified organic & food grade – Bio Aroma.
It has a fresh, sharp, lemony scent, reminiscent of citrus. Of all the essential oils, it has one of the most intense scents, with which it strongly energizes and activates. For this reason, it is extremely suitable for diffusing it into a room when we are exhausted and without energy. We can also use it for an invigorating massage of muscles and joints. Its strong antibacterial action purifies the room and repels unpleasant odors, which is why it is also useful in cleaning products. It is very popular in cosmetic preparations, because a strong scent can be achieved with a relatively small amount of essential oil. Its reputation for repelling insects should also not be ignored. We clasify it as one of the irritating essential oils for the skin, so it is recommended to use it on the skin only in low concentrations. It is not suitable for pregnant women and nursing mothers in concentrations higher than 0,7%.
