Home Use:
An interesting quality of the lemongrass is that it is an antidote to usage of excessive oils. When you have smelt too many oils, or your room has any unpleasant smell, lemongrass should be inhaled or vapourised, to neutralize the aromas.
It may irritate sensitive skin (testing on skin is needed). It is photo-toxic and should be avoided in the early pregnancy. Avoid for children.
