Gingergrass Essential Oil Wild Harvest

Fresh, spicy, and quietly motivating. Valley of the Moon's Gingergrass is a wild harvest essential oil steam distilled from the aerial tops of Cymbopogon martinii var. sofia, sustainably harvested in India. Despite its name, Gingergrass is not related to ginger — it belongs to the same botanical family as Lemongrass and Palmarosa, and its aroma reflects that lineage: fresh and spicy with a sweet lemony complexity that uplifts, purifies, and inspires. A wonderful addition to blends for grounding, muscle support, and renewed motivation.
