[Everything doTERRA] Re: Lemongrass question

Diluting an oil with FCO will not dilute the smell, from my experience.  Blending it with another oil will help to soften it, or change it to give it a different smell.  So find what blend smells best to you.  Maybe blending with peppermint or the other oils that Sherrie mentioned below.

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!
