Lemongrass is a grass that grows in tropical regions and produces a strong fragrant aroma of lemon. It is a long, skinny grass that grows from a tuber. It has a citrus flavor to it and is often used in Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese cooking.
That's the short version.
However, what many people don't realize is that Lemongrass has a wide range of medicinal and therapeutic benefits.
Lemongrass is an analgesic. It offers pain reliefs for a variety of issues including toothaches, sore muscles, intestinal pains, and achiness associated with colds, flu and fever. A few drops added to water, a cup of tea, or a warm soup can help ease these types of discomfort.
Lemongrass is an antidepressant. The scent of Lemongrass naturally elevates one's mood and helps restore balance by easing anxiety and soothing the mind. Lemongrass is especially helpful for mood control when a few drops are added to a diffuser and released into the air.
Finally, Lemongrass is an antibacterial and antiviral agent. It can be used for both internal and eternal cleansing. Taken in a glass of water, Lemongrass assists with helping the body remove toxins via your kidneys and intestines. Lemongrass is believed to help people reduce gassy emissions. Used externally, Lemongrass can help prevent infection in cuts, cure fungal infections and kill bacteria on skin and other surfaces.
With all these fantastic uses for Lemongrass, why not make sure you have this very affordable oil readily accessible in you home?
