Lemongrass (Citronella) essential oil dōTERRA | 15 ml

Lemongrass (Citronella) essential oil dōTERRA | 15 ml

Lemongrass essential oil is the lemongrass of Asian cooking, the one that flavours soups, curries and broths. Distilled in India from a tall grass grown by smallholder farmers, it smells of lemon with a herbal, sharp and slightly smoky note. Not to be confused with Java Citronella, its more floral cousin, which does not belong in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the tip of a toothpick dipped into the bottle is enough to flavour a curry, a soup or a tea, and it lifts fish, poultry, beef and seafood. It pairs well with Basil, Cardamom or Spearmint. In the diffuser, its invigorating aroma refreshes a room. Diluted, it cleanses and tones the skin and scalp with a cooling sensation, and goes with a post-workout massage.

An oil that moves from the kitchen to the bathroom, with the same lively scent.

In India it is also called “Cochin grass”, after the Kerala port from which it was exported. Its citral long served as the raw material for making ionones, the violet-scented molecules used in perfumery.
