Aroma:
Strong, sweet and lemony.

Effect on Body:
It is very good for treatment of sports injuries and torn ligaments. It has a toning and stimulating effect on the muscles and can be used as a circulation stimulant.

Effect on Skin:
It is a deodorizer and can be used to combat excess perspiration.

Effect on Mind:
It has an uplifting and restorative effect especially when used in massage or bath.

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.
