Avoid in glaucoma and with children. Use caution in prostatic hyperplasia and with skin hypersensitivity or damaged skin.

 

Because lemongrass stimulates menstrual flow, it should not be used by women who are pregnant- as there is a slight chance that this may lead to a miscarriage.

 

Side Effects

If you have sensitive skin, lemongrass oil may create a rash, discomfort, or even a burning sensation. Try a small amount on the skin first- just to make sure you have no irritations.

 

If you are planning to use lemongrass oil on your skin or scalp, I recommend you try diluting it with some water. This will cut back on the chances of skin reactions or irritations.
