This lemony flavored grass has a hot and spicy surprise waiting. The blanched white end of each stalk holds wondrous flavor. And the coarse leaves make great sun tea.

This sweet-scented grass is a traditional food seasoning in India, Indochina, the Congo, the Seychelles, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.

Lemongrass is so basic to Thai cooking, one of the world's great cuisnes, that many Thai restaurants call themselves 'Lemongrass.'

Lemongrass is also known as fevergrass. It has been used for centuries to treat fever in India. It has traditionally been used to cure skin complaints and was burnt to kill germs. Its main constituent, citral, was discovered to be a strong, cleansing antiseptic, and used to deodorize clothing and footwear. Dried leaves were burned to keep the mind alert.

The leaves are used to make an aromatic, antiseptic bath. Lemongrass makes a soothing aromatherapy experience by placing a mesh bag with a handful of leaves under the running bath water, then letting the bag soak in the water with you as you bathe. Very relaxing – and the lemongrass oil is very good for dry skin.

It is used in low-cost citrus soaps, perfumes and cleaning agents. Through its anti-bacterial action, it is good for skin complaints, sore throats and respiratory problems. Also effective against headaches. The oil will also repel insects.

A limited study done at the University of Wisconsin revealed that some people taking prepared Lemongrass capsules (140 mg) daily for three months experienced a significant reduction in cholesterol levels, and that their cholesterol levels returned to their previous highs when they stopped taking the preparation. Obviously, this indicates that Lemongrass may help reduce cholesterol in certain individuals.

Lemongrass tea is a mild sedative, and can relieve congestion and coughing, and upset stomach.
