About Nature’s Sunshine Lemongrass Essential Oil
Transform your daily wellness routine with the vibrant, refreshing essence of Nature’s Sunshine Lemongrass Essential Oil. Extracted from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus through careful steam distillation, this 100% pure essential oil captures the plant’s natural vitality in every drop. Known for its distinctive lemony-grassy fragrance, lemongrass has been treasured for centuries in traditional wellness practices throughout Asia and beyond.
Native to tropical regions of India and Southeast Asia, lemongrass is a tall, aromatic perennial grass that thrives in warm climates. The compounds identified in Cymbopogon citratus are mainly terpenes, alcohols, ketones, aldehyde and esters. Some of the reported phytoconstituents are essential oils that contain Citral α, Citral β, Nerol Geraniol, Citronellal, Terpinolene, Geranyl acetate, Myrecene and Terpinol Methylheptenone. This complex chemical profile gives lemongrass its characteristic aroma and makes it a valued addition to aromatherapy collections.
The Power of Pure Steam Distillation
Nature’s Sunshine employs traditional steam distillation methods to extract this precious oil, ensuring the highest quality and purity. This time-tested process gently separates the volatile aromatic compounds from the plant material without using harsh chemicals or solvents. The result is a clean, authentic essential oil that maintains the natural integrity of the lemongrass plant.
Each 0.5 fl. oz. bottle contains hundreds of uses worth of concentrated plant essence. The chemical profile of LGEO as determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis revealed two major components: geranial (42.2%), and neral (31.5%). These citral compounds, collectively known as citral, are responsible for lemongrass’s distinctive lemony scent and many of its beneficial properties.
Aromatic Excellence for Modern Life
Whether you’re seeking to create an uplifting atmosphere in your home or incorporate natural aromatics into your wellness routine, lemongrass essential oil offers remarkable versatility. Lemongrass essential oil is a popular tool in aromatherapy. It is claimed to relieve stress, anxiety, and depression and remedy digestive ailments. Its fresh, energizing aroma makes it perfect for diffusing during meditation, yoga, or whenever you need a natural mood boost.
The oil’s invigorating scent profile combines bright citrusy top notes with earthy, grassy undertones that create a balanced and harmonious fragrance experience. Many people find lemongrass aromatherapy helpful for promoting mental clarity and focus during study or work sessions.
Traditional Wisdom Meets Modern Quality
Cymbopogon citratus is used in various countries for various purposes and has been an important part of traditional wellness practices for generations. Today’s aromatherapy enthusiasts appreciate lemongrass for its clean, refreshing character that blends beautifully with other essential oils like lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, and citrus oils.
Nature’s Sunshine maintains strict quality standards throughout the sourcing and production process. By working with trusted suppliers in India, where lemongrass naturally flourishes, they ensure each bottle meets their high purity standards while supporting sustainable harvesting practices.
Recommended Usage
For aromatic use: Add 3-5 drops to a diffuser or inhale directly from the bottle. For topical use: Always dilute with Nature’s Sunshine Carrier Oil or Massage Oil before applying to skin. Use 1-2 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil for most applications. For external use only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Always dilute lemongrass essential oil before applying to skin. For most adults, use 1-2 drops per teaspoon (5mL) of carrier oil, which creates approximately a 1-2% dilution. For sensitive areas like the face, use even less (0.5% dilution). Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before broader application.
No, never add undiluted essential oils directly to bath water. Essential oils don’t mix with water and can cause skin irritation. Instead, first mix 3-5 drops of lemongrass oil with a tablespoon of carrier oil, milk, or bath salts before adding to your bath for a safe, aromatic experience.
Lemongrass oil works beautifully in diffusers (use 3-5 drops), can be inhaled directly from the bottle, or added to aromatherapy inhalers. You can also add a few drops to a bowl of steaming water for steam inhalation, or apply diluted oil to pulse points for personal aromatherapy throughout the day.
Store your lemongrass essential oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent oxidation and maintain potency. When stored properly, essential oils can maintain their quality for several years. Avoid storing in the refrigerator as temperature fluctuations can affect the oil.
Yes! Lemongrass blends wonderfully with many other essential oils. Try combining it with lavender for a calming yet uplifting blend, peppermint for energizing combinations, or citrus oils like sweet orange for a cheerful aroma. Start with equal parts and adjust ratios based on your preference.
