- Next, add 4 to 6 drops of lemongrass essential oil to the water-filled diffuser. The exact number of drops depends on the size of your diffuser and your personal preference.
- Afterward, secure the top of the diffuser and turn it on, allowing the water and lemongrass oil mixture to disperse as a fine mist into the air.
- Allow the diffuser to run for approximately 30 to 60 minutes at a time, depending on your needs and the strength of the aroma desired.
Ensure that the diffuser is placed in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This will help the fragrance of lemongrass oil to spread evenly throughout the room. You can always adjust the duration to enjoy a stronger or more subtle scent.
