Question 1

What is the difference between lemongrass and citronella essential oil?

Accepted Answer

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) are different but related grasses. Lemongrass has a fresher, brighter citrusy scent, while citronella is stronger, more distinctly grassy, and better known as a mosquito repellent. Both are excellent air fresheners, but their characters differ.

Question 2

How should I use essential oil safely?

Accepted Answer

Never apply essential oil undiluted to skin. Always dilute to at least 2% in a vegetable carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba) — approximately 4-6 drops per 10 ml carrier oil. For sensitive skin, perform a patch test first.

Question 3

Can lemongrass essential oil be used for foot care?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lemongrass essential oil diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. almond or jojoba oil) at a 2-3% ratio makes an excellent foot massage oil and bath additive. Its refreshing effect is particularly pleasant for tired feet. Direct skin application without dilution is not recommended.

Question 4

Which diffuser is it compatible with?

Accepted Answer

Compatible with both ultrasonic (humidifying) diffusers and traditional oil burners (aroma lamps). Add 3-6 drops to the diffuser water reservoir, or 3-5 drops to the oil burner bowl with a little water.

Question 5

How can lemongrass essential oil help with concentration?

Accepted Answer

The fresh, invigorating scent of lemongrass essential oil, when diffused, has an awakening, refreshing effect that can help maintain focus. It is particularly effective in an office, study room, or home working environment. Combined with peppermint or rosemary essential oil, an even more intense concentration-enhancing effect can be achieved.

Question 6

How long does an opened bottle last?

Accepted Answer

Once opened, stored in a cool dark place, it generally maintains its quality for 1-2 years. Citrus oils may lose their fragrance sooner (6-12 months), while resinous and woody oils can last even longer.
