Essential Oil Spotlight
HOW TO USE
Growing and harvesting
quality Lemongrass is no
easy task, but for some small groups of family farmers in
Southern India, it is their passion and way of life. When it
is time to harvest the lemongrass, these farmers hike five
miles up a steep mountain and spend about seven days
harvesting a 100-acre plantation—by hand. Once they
are finished, they take the harvested lemongrass and
walk five miles down the mountain while balancing a
large bundle of lemongrass on their heads.
With every drop of dōTERRA® Lemongrass essential oil,
you will experience a refreshing aroma that relaxes your
mind and helps you keep a more positive outlook on life.
The subtle citrus flavor of Lemongrass is often used in
Asian cuisine and herbal teas, and when taken internally,
Lemongrass delivers many benefits to your digestive
system. A few drops of Lemongrass an ideal component
in massage therapy.
