RiskMedium Risk
Overview
•Pure lemongrass oil is low risk when diluted properly; undiluted application can cause skin irritation due to high citral content (up to 85%).
•No major drug interactions reported for topical/aromatic use, but consult physician if on sedatives as it may enhance relaxation effects.
•Dosage safety: Use 1-2% dilution in carrier oil for adults; higher concentrations exceed safe limits and risk sensitization.
•Not suitable for pregnancy/breastfeeding without medical advice due to potential uterine stimulant effects; avoid in children under 6.
•Allergen risks low for most, but those sensitive to grasses or citrus may experience contact dermatitis; patch test recommended.
•Long-term use safe in moderation; quality from Plant Therapy minimizes contamination concerns per GC/MS testing.
