OVERVIEW & DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Our Lemongrass Essential Oil is meticulously steam distilled from the lush, spicy green blades of the Cymbopogon citratus plant, meticulously cultivated in the serene rural landscapes of Egypt. Renowned for its invigorating lemony scent, this Lemongrass Essential Oil offers remarkable therapeutic benefits. Widely embraced in holistic aromatherapy, it serves various purposes, including its incorporation into formulations aimed at cleansing and diminishing the presence of unwelcome bacteria, microbes, or fungi.

A towering perennial herb, Lemongrass boasts a delicate citrus essence, lending its distinctive flavor to a myriad of Asian dishes, including soups, teas, curries, and various meat and seafood recipes. Lemongrass Essential Oil is naturally abundant in the aldehydes Geranial and Neral, collectively referred to as Citral, comprising approximately 70% of its composition. There exist two primary varieties of Lemongrass: (Cymbopogon flexuosus), also recognized as Cochin grass or Malabar grass, and (Cymbopogon citratus). While both are interchangeable in culinary applications and in the perfume industry.
