The Aromatherapy Store is a great lover of Lemon Verbena – with its distinctive stimulating aroma. The oil is derived by steam distillation from the flowering stalks of the plant and therefore the yield of each plant is low – hence the high price.
Aromatherapy Uses for Verbena Essential Oil
Verbena is famed for its sedative qualities and its ability to assist with alleviating stress and insomnia. 
- A drop or two (maximum) in your evening bath will assist with relaxation and so aid a good nights sleep. Verbena can irritate the skin so only dilute solutions should be used, so if you are looking for a stronger solution then try adding a couple of drops of Lavender Essential Oil. Verbena, like Lavender, whilst relaxing in small amounts can become a stimulant if used to larger quantities so all the mmore reason to exercise restraint with this expensive oil.
- Its citrus quality also makes it a great room deodoriser – and three or four drops will refresh the room as well as your spirits.
- A single drop or two in your rinse cycle for your washing machine can really perk up clothes and especially for clothes which may have been tucked away for the winter.
Verbena, like many of the sharp smelling aromas is also a good oil to place on a pine block and tuck in your wardrobe as it will keep clothes smelling fresh as well as deterring moths!
