Lemongrass

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a fragrant tropical grass prized for its bright, citrusy aroma and long history in both cooking and traditional medicine. Widely used across Asia, Africa, and South America, it has been enjoyed for centuries as a soothing herbal tea and a natural remedy for digestive and everyday wellness concerns. The leaves and stalks are rich in essential oils, particularly citral, along with antioxidants and other beneficial plant compounds. Today, lemongrass is a popular ingredient in herbal tea blends, valued for its refreshing flavour and its gentle, calming, and digestion-supporting qualities.
