I use Lemongrass a lot. It numbs the nerves and helps relieve pain. I had untreated whiplash several times as a child in addition to a broken pelvic bone from a horse flipping over on top of me. I experience pain almost constantly. Lavender oil helps relax the muscles but the Lemongrass essential oil really helps with the pain. Unfortunately I still end up taking some ibuprofen all too often. I keep lemongrass near me on the couch, next to my bed, in the medicine cabinet, and by the table. Be careful with this oil though. It can burn sensitive skin. I use it directly but most people will probably need to dilute it with olive or almond oil. Essential oils can cause chemical burn.

I usually get Lemongrass from Vitacost. They have their own brand of essential oils that we like. There are tons of other things available with lemongrass which is refreshing and smells nice.
