Lemongrass (East Indian)
Solar Plexus · Manipura · 528 Hz
Cut through the haze. Find the line.
The sharpest grass in our range — steam-distilled from the long blades of Cymbopogon flexuosus grown in the hill country of Kerala and Nepal. Solar Plexus at 528 Hz, the chakra of decision and direction. Where Lemon brightens, Lemongrass cuts — a knife-edge scent for moments that need clarity, not warmth. Use sparingly; its sensitiser potential rewards a small hand.
