lemongrass, let the blues out

3 oils · Citrus · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0757


Let the sadness out; don't keep it bottled up. Cedarwood, frankincense and lemongrass split three drops each: warm dry wood, deep resin and zesty grassy lemon, both grounding and refreshing. Good for the living room in the afternoon. Turn on the diffuser, open the window, walk around the house a few times, then come back and sit down.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
