Why Lemongrass Essential Oil?
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is known for its fresh, citrusy scent and energizing effects. In aromatherapy, it’s often used to uplift the mood, sharpen focus, and support emotional clarity.
Benefits of Lemongrass Essential Oil:
- Naturally deodorizes the air without artificial fragrances
- Helps improve focus and energy, especially in home offices or shared spaces
- Supports emotional well-being by promoting mental clarity
Acts as a gentle, natural cleanser for your environment

A Quick Note on Quality
Not all essential oils are created equally. For the best results (and to avoid headaches from synthetic ingredients), I recommend using only high-quality, pure essential oils. If you’re looking for trusted, therapeutic-grade oils, I personally use and recommend Aromatics International.

Safety Tips for Using
Safety Tips for Using Essential Oils in Room Sprays
Essential oils are powerful, and a little goes a long way. Keep these tips in mind:
- Shake well before each use since oils and water don’t naturally mix.
- Avoid spraying directly on skin, pets, or small children.
- Test fabrics first to make sure the spray doesn’t stain or react.
- Store in a cool, dark place to maintain shelf life and aroma.
