An earthy lemon aroma - strong and balancing and used often in perfumery. A fairly inexpensive oil, so you won't see as much adulteration as you do in the USA with more expensive oils. We love it in our lemongrass & turmeric soap. Due to the properties of the chemical constituents in this oil and its synergy of citral (neral and geranial), you may find it effective for the following:
- Headaches
- Excessive perspiration
- Poor circulation
- Analgesic
- Acne
- Sedating
- Very effective insect repellent, especially effective against dust mites
- Effective airborne antimicrobial
- Antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral
- Research has shown the constituents inherent in this oil to be anti-tumoral

SAFETY: This is a strong skin irritant if used undiluted. Please dilute properly and do a skin test if this is the first time you've used this oil. Due to the high percentage of citral, this is not a safe oil to be used during pregnancy.
