I LOVE this oil. First off it smells great to me. Secondly, I was once told to use it before and after going to a public swimming pool, or any other place I would be exposed to large amounts of chlorinated water. As we all know, our skin absorbs what is placed next to it, be that chemical, natural substance, or toxins. Using Lemongrass helps our bodies get rid of any chlorine that is taken into the body- doesn't that sound wonderful?
I usually add a few drops to my regular bath and always come away feeling refreshed and ready to be active. I will also diffuse it in my trusty diffuser when I don't have time for a bath, but need a bit of a pick me up.
