RE: Sunday Scent Experience - Lemongrass 🍋🌱 - Exploring the Benefits
@crosheille such a wonderfull post! I can almost smell the lemograss! Lemongrass is such a delight, in taste and in scent.
The oil is very sweet lemony.
To distill 1 liter essential oil there is 50 k fresh plant needed; its color is yellowish to sometimes orange. This is an 'aldehyde' oil - meaning it kill microbes and bacteria, fungi, parasites etc.
If used in small doses its very calming on the nervous system. Aldehyde oils do well for Parkinson patiënts.
Its a non toxic oil and according to Tisserand/Balacs almost never skin sensitisizing. My motto thoughis: always dillute properly!
Thank you so much @dutchess! I am so glad you approve and enjoyed my scent post. Thank you for that awesome information about distilling the oil. We order Lemongrass oil from Young Living and we love the lemony scent. I never knew what all it took to distill the oil from the grass. It's amazing how many benefits just this one oil has. I am going to read more about aldehyde oils too ;)
My pleasure @crosheille! I will give you some more details soon!
