DAY 19: Lemongrass Essential Oil
Can you remember the first time you smelt Lemongrass? It has such a distinct smell doesn’t it?
We had lemongrass in our garden growing up and often I would wander outside, break off a sprig and take a smell. I was reflecting on how we naturally do things like that, gravitate towards a certain plant or food, as if something deep inside is guiding us there.
This is one thing I am realising more and more with Essential Oils. Our bodies seem to have some intelligence as to what oils might be able to support us. And so if you are reading this blog today on Lemongrass, there might be something in it for you.

Tips for using Lemongrass Essential Oil:
- Aromatically Diffusing Lemongrass Essential Oil can support you in feeling more uplifted and flowing, assisting you to overcome feelings of nervousness or mental fatigue. Diffusing lemongrass can also keep bugs away as it is a natural insect repellent!
- Topically Rub onto your tummy (dilute with a carrier oil + combine with peppermint) to assist with constipation or water retention. You can also apply to your finger and toe nails to help promote a healthy appearance.
- Internally You can take in a capsule if you have blood pressure, cholesterol or thyroid issues or lymphatic congestion. Adding a drop to a glass of water can support healthy digestive function and you can add a drop of Lemongrass Essential Oil to your cooking.

This sentence resonated with me: “Our bodies seem to have some intelligence as to what oils might be able to support us.” I think Lilacs are a smell that brings me back to a time and place very easily. Apples too.
