Lemongrass Hydrosol

Cymbopogon citratus / Cymbopogon flexuosus

Little is documented about Lemongrass Hydrosol, but I look forward to exploring its applications more. It may share some similar uses to that of Lemon Balm Hydrosol. However, I have not been able to compare trustworthy GC/MS reports for both hydrosols, so I am not able to verify that.

Aromatically, Lemongrass Hydrosol is fresh, bright and has a crisp lemon-like aroma.
