It will add a wonderful fragrance, and prolong the scent of the pot-pourri as well. Add 5 drops of lemongrass essemtial oil to a spray bottle, fill with warm water and spritz those tired and aching feet. What a lift ! |

Thanks, -EAT (Big earthquake on the way) I use it in my water the mop the tiles in the house. It leaves a fresh scent and it also repels insects. I use like 20+ drops in a standard pail of hot water with plain old dish soap as my cleanser. Tried it on the skin with olive oil as a mosquito repellent once, worked great to keep the bugs away, but that shit burns like a bitch. Never again. Strictly for off my body use. |

For the ladies... Tea tree oil is the stuff to rid yourself of a yeast infection, even a nasty one. It will cure it FAST and easier than those messy creams or dangerous pills from the doc. I use it "internally" but not orally. I know everyone's parts are different, so I will say of you have sensitive girly bits and you know this, absolutely dilute your TT oil with coconut oil using an essential oil book for reference. However, for me, I keep a bottle specifically for this use, and I just get into the old gyn position (legs bent, parted, laying flat) and tilt my hips back a bit, and pour a bit "in there". You just need a wee bit to make it in for this to work. Some will spill out and that's good. That will soothe the outside. Do this morning and night for 2-3 days, yeast infection gone. Your body will clean itself out naturally after the 2-3 days of use, and you will see that clumpy white stuff evacuate your body naturally. Not to mention, you will feel so soothed and clean down there despite the infection from using the TT oil. It eliminates the symptoms upon application. Eat no sugar during this time and drink a lot of water. This is one hippie remedy that WORKS better than the crap at the store of from the doc. |

Just a few drops and it's good to go. Quoting: rainlover Yup. I make my own liquid laundry detergent and lemongrass essential oil is what makes the scent perfect and clean. I'm pretty sure it's naturally antibacterial also. This is the recipe I follow, easy, cheap and works great. The lemongrass smells so much better than those awful supermarket chemical detergents.
