Lemongrass
Lemongrass essential oil is highly concentrated. Its side effects aren’t well-studied. In some people, they may be stronger than the side effects of the lemongrass plant.
Lemongrass may cause an allergic reaction or skin irritation when used topically.
Other reported side effects of oral lemongrass include:
- dizziness
- drowsiness
- increased appetite
- increased urination
Essential oils may be toxic when ingested. You shouldn’t ingest lemongrass essential oil.
Lemongrass, in its plant-form, is generally safe to use in food and beverages. Higher amounts may increase your risk of developing side effects.
You should also talk to your doctor before use if you:
- have diabetes or low blood sugar
- have a respiratory condition, such as asthma
- have liver disease
- are undergoing chemotherapy
- are pregnant
- are breastfeeding
You shouldn’t use lemongrass as a complementary therapy or in place of your regular treatment for any condition unless under your doctor’s supervision.
