<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe key active components of lemongrass essential oil are citral and geraniol. Citral has strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Geraniol suppresses pathogenic microorganisms and helps reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, lemongrass oil contains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Myrcene and limonene \u2013 terpene compounds with powerful antioxidant properties that protect the body from free radical damage;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Nerol \u2013 a unique terpene alcohol that affects the central nervous system and brain, acting as a natural calming and anti-stress agent;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- B-group vitamins, which regulate cellular metabolism, support energy production from food, normalize fat metabolism, and participate in hormone synthesis;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) \u2013 one of the most powerful natural immunostimulants, accelerating the body\u2019s defense response to viruses and infections;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Lemongrass oil also contains a rich mineral complex, including potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, phosphorus, and selenium. These minerals are involved in most metabolic processes and help regulate the functioning of internal organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lemongrass essential oil helps relieve nervous tension, improves appetite, and accelerates recovery after physical exertion. Massage with lemongrass oil reduces muscle hypertonicity, while compresses help alleviate arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other inflammatory joint and bone conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In cosmetology, lemongrass oil is used to regulate oily skin, fight acne and teenage breakouts. Mixing 2\u20133 drops of lemongrass oil with one teaspoon of a carrier oil and applying it to the face helps tighten pores and eliminate blackheads (comedones).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How lemongrass oil is made: production features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Lemongrass oil is produced from two subspecies of lemongrass: East Indian lemongrass and West Indian lemongrass. In industrial production, it is obtained\u2014like most essential oils\u2014through steam distillation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also make homemade lemongrass oil by infusing dried young stems in any neutral-smelling carrier oil. For 200 grams of base oil,<\/a> use 10\u201315 dried, finely chopped lemongrass stalks. Pour the oil over the plant material, shake well, seal tightly, and store in a dark place for about two weeks. After that, strain the oil and store it in the main compartment of the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The health value of lemongrass oil directly depends on the quality of the carrier oil. The best option is a raw organic cold-pressed oil. Such oil can be produced at home using a special oil press, a barrel (mold),<\/a> and raw materials such as nuts, grains, or oilseeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
