Winter has a way of slowing everything down—our energy, our digestion, our motivation, even our mood.
It’s the season when we crave warmth, comfort, and simple habits that support wellbeing from the inside out. One of the most underrated yet incredibly powerful tools for winter health is Lemongrass essential oil, a bright, citrus-herbal oil known for its cleansing properties, uplifting aroma, and whole-body benefits.
At Inner Spa, we love using doTERRA Lemongrass because purity matters—especially when you’re putting something on or into your body.
doTERRA’s rigorous testing standards, transparent sourcing, and Certified Pure Tested Grade® quality ensure that the essential oils you use for your health are exactly what they claim to be: pure, potent, and free from fillers or contaminants. (Unfortunately, many essential oils on the market cannot say the same!)[CC1]
If you’re looking to boost your vitality this season, here are four powerful, health-oriented ways to use Lemongrass essential oil—during winter and all year long.
1. Support Digestive Health Naturally*
Cooler weather can slow digestion, increase bloating, and leave you craving heavier foods. Lemongrass essential oil contains naturally occurring compounds that help support healthy gastrointestinal function when taken internally.*
How to use:
- Add 1 drop to warm water with lemon for a soothing, herbal digestive drink.
- Place 1–2 drops in a doTERRA Veggie Capsule for targeted internal support.**
- Combine Lemongrass with Peppermint essential oil in a capsule to support a calm, comfortable digestive system.*
This tiny addition to your routine can make a surprising difference in how your gut feels throughout the day.
2. Ease Muscle Tension and Support Healthy Inflammation Response*
Cold temperatures often bring stiff joints, tight muscles, and slower mobility. Lemongrass is loved for its naturally soothing properties, making it ideal for winter self-care. Its warming, invigorating aroma enhances circulation and provides comfort to tired or overworked muscles.
How to use:
- Dilute 2–3 drops with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil and massage into tense areas.
- Add a few drops to a warm bath for a full-body soothing experience.
- Combine with Deep Blue® Rub for an extra boost after workouts or long days.
This simple ritual can help your body feel looser, more comfortable, and more vibrant—no matter the temperature outside.
3. Boost Mood and Freshen Indoor Air During the Winter Blues
Winter months mean more time indoors, which often leads to stagnant air and heavier emotional energy. Lemongrass essential oil has a bright, clean scent that cuts through the heaviness to help uplift the mind and energize your environment.
How to use:
- Diffuse 3–4 drops to freshen your home and support emotional clarity.
- Pair with oils like Lavender, Eucalyptus, or Citrus Bloom® for a balanced winter blend.
- Place a drop in your palms, rub together, and inhale deeply when you need a mid-day reset.
Clients frequently say Lemongrass makes their home feel “cleaner,” “brighter,” and “more energized”—perfect for long winter days.
4. Promote Clear, Healthy-Looking Skin
Winter can be harsh on the skin—dryness, dullness, and irritation are all common. Lemongrass offers natural purifying and toning benefits that can help support a clearer, more balanced complexion.
How to use:
- Add 1 drop to your daily cleanser or moisturizer.
- Combine with Melaleuca (Tea Tree) for a purifying spot treatment.
- Massage diluted Lemongrass into the feet or legs to support skin vitality and circulation.
This is a small step that can bring big improvements, especially during dry months.
Why Purity Matters More Than Ever—And Why We Trust doTERRA
Essential oils are not created equally. Many commercial oils contain additives, synthetic fragrances, or diluted ingredients, making them ineffective—or even unhealthy.
doTERRA’s Certified Pure Tested Grade® standards involve:
- Strict third-party testing
- Transparent sourcing from trusted growers
- Zero fillers, contaminants, or hidden ingredients
- Batch-specific test reports available to you
When you’re using essential oils for your health, your skin, or your home, purity is everything. Your body knows the difference—and so do we.
