Lemongrass essential oil is a versatile and potent natural product, but like all essential oils, understanding its proper usage is crucial for maximizing benefits and ensuring safety. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing not only high-quality lemongrass oil but also essential guidance for its safe and effective application.

Aromatic Use: Diffusing lemongrass essential oil is generally considered safe for adults. Use 2-3 drops per 100 mL of water in your diffuser to create a refreshing and uplifting atmosphere. This is an excellent way to enjoy its aromatherapy benefits, such as stress relief and mood enhancement, without direct skin contact.

Topical Application: When applying lemongrass oil to the skin, proper dilution is paramount. Always mix it with a carrier oil, such as jojoba, coconut, or almond oil. A maximum dilution of 0.7% is recommended for topical applications. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any sensitivity or allergic reactions. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and mucous membranes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Internal Use: While some sources suggest internal use, it is generally advised to avoid ingesting essential oils unless under the direct supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. Lemongrass oil is highly concentrated, and incorrect internal use can be harmful. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. advises against internal consumption without expert guidance.

Precautions: Lemongrass essential oil can be potent and may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. It is also flammable, so keep it away from open flames or high heat. Pregnant or nursing women, and individuals with pre-existing medical conditions or taking medications, should consult with a healthcare provider before using lemongrass essential oil. Children should only be exposed to diffused oils with caution, and topical application should be avoided on infants and very young children. By following these guidelines, you can safely enjoy the many benefits of pure lemongrass essential oil, confident in its quality and your own well-being.
