Lemongrass has many uses besides its common application as a bug repellant. It can be used along with Tea Tree (melaleuca) oil to treat Athlete’s foot or nail fungus issues, or it can be used on its own to promote healthy hair or to relieve fatigued muscles. Lemongrass is a flexible and functional oil with a long-lasting and refreshing scent. This uplifting and inspiring oil makes a great contribution to overall feelings of health.

I bought this lemongrass EO to clear up my husbands toenail fungus as well as use in our diffuser. This has a nice strong scent.

Davina is one of my favorite EO brands. Their oils are wonderful, absolutely comparable with higher priced oils. I own about 10 of them now and will continue buying. The price is unbeatable.

I bought this Lemongrass Essential Oil as I’m new to EO’s and was told that it was a nice scent. How pleasantly surprised and delighted I was the first time I used it in my diffuser.. It is a very clean fragrance and I am using it almost daily now. I will recommend it to my friends.

Smells amazing in my diffuser. So pungent and clean smelling. I like it mixed with lavender or bergamot.

I love essential oils and this one is as good as other brands. A little lemon on a lightbulb or in a microwave makes the house smell clean. Add to hand cream or soap dispenser for an all day clean smell. A little goes a long way. Do not overdo. Caution do not apply directly to skin without first diluting. I like to use coconut oil.

This is a good quality oil. I love lemongrass for its muscle relief properties. I have been using this in my bath and in a mixture I have been using on my skin for some dermatitis and on my thyroid. It has been working well. I feel like its a little more potent than the Now oil I have. More comparable to Aura Cacia. Good oil for a good price. Would recommend.
Lori –
I am enjoying this oil quite a bit! Lemongrass is one of my favorite oils and this one does not disappoint. I use it in my diffuser necklace daily. It smells just as good as my much pricier versions. Will definitely try other oils based on the quality of this one.
Daryl –
Very pure smell! better than the other brands I have used

I have fallen in love with Davina Essential Oils– and Lemongrass is one of my favorites! …although I’m not sure that they make an oil I don’t like!!! Buy these products with confidence as they are well worth the money– especially when there are so many more out there that are so much more expensive! Alone, or in combination, there are TONS of uses for them! Read my other reviews of their products for more info… :D
