In this study, researchers from The Federal University of Sergipe in Brazil evaluated the potential anxiolytic effect of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) aroma in healthy volunteers subjected to an anxiety-inducing situation. The results of their study were published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that even brief exposure to lemongrass essential oil has anxiolytic benefits, but more investigations are needed to clarify its clinical relevance as an anxiety treatment.
