Antioxidant Properties Studies have shown that lemongrass oil has the ability to fight off free radicals in the body. Free radicals are produced in the body to aid in metabolic processes such as digestion and the exchange of food into energy. They can be beneficial in many of the body's natural functions. However, when an abundance of free radicals is produced, it can become damaging to our health. Our bodies try to protect us from free radical damage by producing enzymes that neutralize them. However, they are not capable of handling this function without antioxidants provided by our diets. Antioxidants are protective molecules that neutralize free radicals with electrons, rendering them harmless. Lemongrass oil is often used in hot teas, soups and curries. Make an antioxidant tea with 6 oz. of hot water and 2-3 drops of lemongrass oil.
7. Helps Relieve Headaches & Migraines The calming and soothing effects of lemongrass oil has the ability to diminish the throbbing, pressure, or tension that can cause those bothersome headaches. Lemongrass essential oil is often used to relieve mental exhaustion, fatigue, stress and is a very uplifting oil. It’s an excellent choice for those whose migraines bring on emotional symptoms of depression and / or panic. Mix 2 drops with a dab of coconut oil, then rub into the temples. You can also diffuse 3-4 drops in a diffuser to obtain headache or migraine relief.
9. Reduces Inflammation The anti-inflammatory properties of lemongrass oil comes from the limonene in the plant. Inflammation has been connected to just about every health condition and it plays a role in allergic diseases like asthma, arthritis, Crohn’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and Parkinson’s disease. By allowing nutrients to be absorbed into the body, lemongrass oil also boosts the immune system. The oil can be vital in restoring your system and it can help to keep the organs working properly.
