Lemongrass relieves stress, anxiety and can be known to reduce symptoms of depression. It has also been used to treat digestive issues and high blood pressure. The fresh, lemony scent with sweet notes is a firm favourite in personal care products as it has a cleansing and uplifting aroma. The essential oil can be used on its own as an invigorating scent to stir the senses and clear the mind – helpful if you are flagging at work or need lifting from a low mood or a state of tension.
