Satthwa: Lemon-Grass Essential Oil | Review + How to Use
By Bhawna D. - October 09, 2017
Hi Guys,
How are you
all doing? 😊
So recently,
I received Satthwa’s Lemongrass
Essential Oil and probably this is like the third addition to my essential oils
collection. Now, essential oils can resolve a lot of our daily incurred
concerns but the question remains how to use them. Basically essential oils are
highly concentrated and they are not to be used directly. The ideal way to use
them is by mixing it with either carrier oil or diluting with a face mask concoction.
Lemongrass is widely used within Asian states for its tangy-citrusy flavour;
added within various curries to enhance their flavour. But it also has
medicinal properties which I will share with you all in today’s post. Before
moving on with "How lemongrass essential oil can be beneficial in your DIY
stuff", let me introduce you first to the brand itself -

How you can use Lemongrass Oil:
A great Antiseptic – Since lemongrass is endowed with
antiseptic properties, you can incorporate it within your skincare; especially
for people prone to acne. Lemongrass oil will make sure that the bacteria which
causes acne is kept off guards. The simplest manner of using lemongrass
essential oil for face is by mixing it in some plain/rose water. Preferably,
use a spray nozzle bottle to ensure easy application. Make sure to shake each
time before using this DIY lemongrass toner. If you are like me who can’t
really go through much hassle, you can probably use few drops while creating a
face mask concoction. In case you have oily skin, take out your favourite gel
based moisturizer and pour two drops into it.
Aromatherapy
with Diffuser – The easiest
form of using lemongrass would be to add few drops within your diffuser for
that amazing citrusy fragrance to your room. If you’re more into scented
candles, then sprinkle the oil onto the candle surface before burning it. This
helps in relaxing your senses and in calming those annoying worldly thoughts
like “Why the f*** my boss didn’t approve
my amazing plan idea?”
Insect repellent – The natural means to keep
mosquitoes and mosquito related health problems, then all you gotta do is add
lemongrass essential oil to your favourite body lotion and slather it onto your
skin. And B-A-M-N you’re good to explore the world without worry about
mosquitoes!
Reducing Pores of facial skin – Not only does lemongrass help in keeping insects away; it also keeps away the acne causing bacteria. And the best part is that it can help you in reducing your facial skin’s pores. Mix it with some water and add in few drops to that and spritz this onto your face. This can replace your toners and you’d definitely see your pores & acne being reduced.
Reducing Dandruff – Lemongrass also helps in evading the dandruff issue. The best way to use it for treating dandruff is by mixing it to your weekly hair care routine. All you need to do is mix few drops of it into olive oil or coconut oil whichever you prefer. For most amazing results, try it with Satthwa’s Premium Hair Oil as it is an amalgamation of 9 beneficial oils which cater nutrition to your scalp and hair strand.
Why to pick only Satthwa’s Essential
Oils?
👉Because Satthwa’s Essential Oils are 100% Pure & Certified Organic.
Those
essential oils which aren’t stated as “certified organic” are never completely
pure. The reason being, the plants from which the essential oil is produced are
sometime sprinkled with chemical fertilizers and pesticides which manage to
protect the crop from getting eating by bugs. But these chemicals cannot be
removed while making use of it for deriving essential oils. Thus, they aren’t
100% pure. The word “certified organic” is what you need to see for within the
labels while purchasing essential oils. Comparatively, organic essential oils
have much more potency and display quick results rather than the non-organic
ones. Hope these little tips would help you next time when you think of adding
to your cart some essential oils. Essential oils can be used in everyday
routine of our lives but majority of us aren’t aware how each essential oil can
be put to use. But of course, we have Google now to help us resolve every
dilemma.
(Disclaimer – Satthwa’s
Lemongrass Essential Oil is 100% pure and thus highly concentrated. Do not use
it directly upon your skin as it might give you an inflammation sensation. For
that matter, DO NOT use any Essential oil directly!)
