Lemongrass is used for treating digestive tract spasms, stomachache, high blood pressure, convulsions, pain, vomiting, cough, achy joints (rheumatism), fever, the common cold, and exhaustion. It is also used to kill germs and as a mild astringent. In food and beverages, lemongrass is used as a flavoring. For example, lemongrass leaves are commonly used as “lemon” flavoring in herbal teas. It is an essential ingredient in Thai and Indonesian cooking. Lemongrass grows wild in Indonesia, Indochina, and tropical Australia, and has been cultivated in Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka as a culinary herb and in India as a medicinal herb for thousands of years. It was considered by Paracelsus to be a cure-all and was his favorite and most revered herb. It is antifungal, antibacterial, and antimicrobial. It can be used to repel internal parasites and ease a stomachache. It works with the nervous system, as a mild sedative, calming stress, and relieving headaches. It has even been used for improving the body’s digestion of fats, an ability which makes it useful as a natural supplement to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
