[Everything doTERRA] Lemongrass question

Lemongrass is fast becoming my favorite for my aching polio muscles. I have a question. I can apply it neat and it does not bother my skin, but the smell is a tad overpowering for me. Do I need to use it with FCO in this case?

I second the lemongrass and peppermint combo.  Great for athletic families.  The lemongrass helps to heal tendons/ligaments and is also a pain reliever.  Mixed with a carrier oil is a great pre-workout rub as it helps increase circulation.  Also apply neat for muscle cramps.  It says some people may be sensitive, but I haven't had a problem.  For injury, layer peppermint over the lemongrass for inflammation, pain and to help drive the lemongrass in..  For acute inury you can lightly rub an ice cube over the area to help with inflammation, but the water also helps to push the oils in further.  For long term injury use a very warm, moist compress to encourage circulation to the area and drive the oils deeper.  We love this combination!  

We also use Balance everyday on our feet (watch the video on YouTube of blood samples) and it evened out my female cycle. Solace occasionally throughout the month helped with hormone headaches.  Love Citrus Bliss diffused or on my wrists for mood enhancement.
