Lemongrass Essential Oil Benefits for Mood | MOOD BOOST Shower Steamer
After a long day, there’s something about stepping into a warm, steamy shower that makes it easier to slow down and breathe. Add the bright, refreshing aroma of lemongrass essential oil, and your everyday shower can become a simple moment of self-care.
That’s the inspiration behind the newest addition to the Harvest collection: MOOD BOOST Shower Steamer.
Why Lemongrass for Aromatherapy?
Lemongrass is known for its fresh, citrusy aroma and has long been used in traditional wellness practices and aromatherapy.
Research involving human participants suggests that lemongrass aroma may help reduce feelings of anxiety and tension. One study found that inhaling lemongrass essential oil was associated with reduced state anxiety and subjective tension in participants (Goes et al., 2015).
Another recent randomized clinical trial found that lemongrass aromatherapy was associated with reductions in anxiety and certain physiological measures during dental treatment (Maybodi et al., 2025).
So while lemongrass isn't a magic cure for stress, its bright aroma may make it a lovely addition to a calming, refreshing self-care ritual.
MOOD BOOST 🍋
Our Thera-Suds MOOD BOOST Shower Steamer brings the fresh scent of lemongrass right into your shower.
Simply place the 3 oz shower steamer on the shower floor, away from the direct stream of water. As warm water splashes onto the steamer and shower steam fills the space, the steamer gradually releases its aromatic lemongrass essential oil.
The result?
A refreshing lemongrass aromatherapy shower designed to help you turn an ordinary shower into a more intentional moment of relaxation and renewal.
