Lemongrass Organic Essential Oil (Cymbopogon flexuosus)

Organic Lemongrass Oil from East India – East Indian Lemongrass

East Indian Lemongrass essential oil is extracted from fresh leaves of Cymbopogon flexuosus, which grows naturally in East India. Steam distilled, it captivates with an intense, citrusy aroma with an herbal note — fresh, slightly sweet, and refreshing. It is one of the most potent oils with purifying, antifungal, and antibacterial properties.

It naturally contains a high concentration of citral (geranial and neral), which is responsible for its strong disinfectant properties and its ability to support concentration. It is valued in aromatherapy for its energizing effect on mental fatigue and muscle tension.

Not to be confused with Cymbopogon citratus — we offer the therapeutic variety East Indian Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), rich in natural citral.
