Description

It is widely used and valued in Asia, especially in cooking and herbal infusions. There are two species of lemongrass, Cymbopogon citratus and Cymbopogon flexuosus, both of which yield essential oil.It grows in China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Central America and South America. It can also be grown in Spain!

In aromatherapy, its essential oil is also very versatile. Its calming and anxiolytic actions are particularly notable. It is an important essential oil for stress-related nervous system disorders. It also has digestive and pain-relieving properties and is an excellent antifungal. It improves blood and lymphatic circulation, which explains its frequent inclusion in anti-cellulite preparations.
