Regular topical application of Lemongrass essential oil is thought to help maintain the elastic quality of some connective tissues making it beneficial for varicose veins and bruising. It is also thought to assist in recovery after exercise, sprains and strains. It may also help as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of joint dislocation or subluxation injury.

Arthritis is a condition that effects joint lining and capsules. Lemongrass has been used with other essential oils to help as a tonic to the connective tissue in these structures. Lemongrass may also provide a warming sensation that could help with mild pain associated with the condition.

Lemongrass essential oil can be irritating to the skin, and while the skin on the feet is thicker it is best to pay attention in case of a skin reaction.

Lemongrass essential oil for body systems

Digestive stimulant:
Historically, the lively Lemongrass plant has been used to treat various digestive ailments such as stomach upset caused by intestinal infections and gastroenteritis, commonly known as food poisoning or stomach flu. This may be due to its strong chemical constituents that have anti-septic and anti-microbial properties. It is also prized for its stimulating effect on the digestive system. It may assist those who have slow or weak digestion and experience indigestion, fluid retention and cellulite. Consider adding Lemongrass with other essential oils to a cream base and massage into the abdominal area, lower back and thighs to improve digestion or tone the area.
