How to Ingest Lemongrass Oil
- 1). Dilute the lemongrass oil in an oil-soluble carrier like olive oil, agave nectar or goat's milk. Use a tablespoon of carrier liquid per two- to three-drop dose of lemongrass oil. Limit doses to three to six in a day.
- 2). Drink the diluted lemongrass oil directly or, if you're using agave nectar or goat's milk as your carrier, mix it into a mug of tea after you've diluted it.
- 3). Apply diluted lemongrass oil directly to the skin to treat acne or to relieve pain from strains or bruises. For topical use, use olive oil or a high quality vegetable oil as the carrier liquid. Mix two drops of oil per teaspoon of carrier liquid. Stay out of the sun for several hours after using lemongrass oil on the skin. It is photo-reactive, and sun exposure can cause a rash or irritation.
