Lemongrass Historical Snippets:
Lemongrass essential oil may be within one of the top 10 most favourable oils with aromatherapists today. However, it has only been around for less than one hundred years. Which isn’t very long when compared to other popular ancient oils. Like lemon oil, lemongrass holds many diverse uses. Ranging from repellents, shampoos, soaps and detergents to more therapeutic actions such as colds, coughs, arthritis, rheumatism and digestive disorders. It was used quite extensively throughout traditional Chinese and ayurvedic medicine.

Shelf Life of Lemongrass Essential Oil:
Our freshly decanted Lemongrass essential oil will last for 2-3 years minimum from when you open your amber glass bottle if stored correctly:
Primary Storage Considerations:
Keep away from direct light (U.V. radiation)
Keep in the amber glass bottle with lid tightly closed. Only open when you need to and decant into a smaller "working" amber glass bottle if possible (and label so you know what is in it). This is to reduce oxidation.
Secondary Storage Considerations:
Keep in a refrigerator at around 4 degrees celsius.
