It is always a good idea to perform a skin test in the crease of the elbow to make sure there is no skin reaction. Lemongrass essential oil is not recommended for inhalation either.

What is the cultivation method?

We do not use chemical products (fertilizers or insecticides) but we use agricultural techniques adapted to the organic production method. We favor the conditions so that the plant can evolve normally in its natural habitat, thus facilitating its multiplication and recreating a spontaneous aromatic flora (permaculture).

In the particular case of the lemongrass, our essential oil comes from Indonesia. It is not a spontaneous plant or cultivated in Portugal, as it is typically tropical, does not tolerate frost and needs heat with humidity.

Lemongrass leaves are steam distilled in traditional stills.
