Drive the Blues Away!

I just discovered a delicious aroma--lemongrass!  I knew about using lemongrass for reducing fever, but I had never tried it in my diffuser.   Today I learned that lemongrass essential oil has been used to help eliminate bouts of depression, moodiness, nervousness, or anxiety.  Lemongrass can be applied to the temples or the bottom of the feet to stimulate blood flow, which helps relieve depression.  But it can also be used for aromatherapy.  I diffused it in my home today, and I really did enjoy the aroma. It was very pleasant and relaxing.  According to Beeyoutiful, "diffusing lemongrass in your home can help drive the blues away!"
