Original information from Kobashi Official Website:
LATIN NAME: Cymbopogon citratus
SOURCE: Steam distilled grass
COLOUR: Amber
ORIGIN: Cochin India
AROMA: Strong sweet 'lemony', rich, deep, creamy, slightly grassy
QUALITIES: Excellent for vaporising to banish unpleasant smells. Uplifting and refreshing - good for tired sweaty feet, or as a rinse for greasy hair. A good oil to use as an insect repellent. Helpful in a massage oil to increase poor circulation and treat muscular aches and pain. Helpful to those suffering from nervous exhaustion and stress related conditions. Can be irritating to skin so use with caution and dilute well. Sometimes used to adulterate the more expensive oil of Melissa. This is why we test so extensively.
A member of the Poaceae family, a fast growing, tall aromatic plant native to Asia.
