Lemongrass

If you want your home to smell like summer, simply use Lemongrass essential oil to clean. Native to Sri Lanka, the West Indies, Nepal, South Africa, and the Philippines, this peppy essential oil can be used to clean just about anything–wood, tile, dishes, counters, bathrooms, and even laundry.

Because of its amazing health benefits, Lemongrass is a much better alternative to chemical-based cleaning products. It's wonderful for the immune, respiratory, and nervous systems, and it only gets better from there. 

Lemongrass works as an effective mosquito repellant. It has been traditionally used for gastrointestinal problems, high blood pressure, and fevers. It's also great for soaps and hair care products.
