When I first made this and used it, I did a little happy hula dance in my kitchen because it SMELLS SO GOOD! This divine pineapple and lemongrass body scrub and lotion made me feel like a tropical goddess! It leaves the skin feeling smooth, soft, and smelling amazing as well as nourishing it with additional medicinal benefits.
Lemongrass
Both of these products feature the versatile and amazing lemongrass essential oil. Not only does it have a one of a kind, fresh, and exotic scent, it can help heal in so many ways!
It is helpful in fighting depression and can uplift spirits, self esteem, mental strength, and help relieve anxiety! Yes please! It has antibacterial and antiseptic properties and is very effective on breakouts! (verified by me! But be careful when applying directly to the face. Only apply directly on problem area - this stuff can burn!) Lemongrass oil can help reduce fever, soothe digestive issues, and apparently, cure cellulite (that is according to the internet - but ye, I'll take that too if it is true!)
Lemongrass is also considered an aphrodisiac. In the Caribbean, an elixir is prepared with Lemongrass as its main component that supposedly stimulates dormant sexual drives in both men and women. In Central Africa, it is likewise used as an aphrodisiac and has also been used in divinatory practice.
It is thought to be a native crop of India but can also be traced back to Asia and Australia. Exportation goes back as far as the 17th century from the Philippines.
