Pure, Potent and Traditionally Distilled Lemongrass Oil

Lemongrass oil was traditionally used as a stimulant. It has wonderful antiseptic and astringent properties. Topical application relieves muscular pain and headaches. It wards off insects and germs. It is used used as a deodorizer and air freshener. The pleasant aroma of Lemongrass oil relieves stress, anxiety and insomnia. It is extracted from the leaves by steam distillation.

In today’s fast-paced world, essential oils are often produced in bulk using modern shortcuts—high pressure, rapid heating, or chemical solvents. While these methods increase quantity, they often compromise the very soul of the oil.

Traditionally made lemongrass oil, on the other hand, is crafted with patience and respect for the plant. Using slow steam distillation, fresh lemongrass leaves are gently processed so the oil is released naturally, without burning or breaking its delicate aromatic compounds. This preserves the oil’s true citral content, therapeutic strength, and refreshing lemony aroma.

Traditional vs Modern Extraction

Modern techniques may yield more oil quickly, but they often:

Reduce therapeutic potency

Alter the natural fragrance

Leave behind chemical traces

Traditional methods ensure:

Better aroma retention

Higher medicinal value

Skin-friendly and safer oil

Longer-lasting freshness
