Overview & Traditional Uses

A tropical perennial grass native to Southeast Asia, India, and Sri Lanka, Lemongrass has been a beloved culinary and herbal cornerstone across Ayurvedic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Caribbean folk healing for centuries. Known in the West Indies as "Fever Grass" for its traditional use in cooling seasonal heat, Lemongrass owes its vibrant, zesty aroma to high concentrations of citral (geranial and neral), myrcene, and antioxidant bioflavonoids. It stands as a supreme botanical for brightening the mood, revitalizing tired digestion, and clearing stagnant energy.

• Digestive Ease & Bloating Relief: A classic carminative and gentle spasmolytic traditionally brewed to stimulate sluggish digestion, soothe abdominal cramps, relieve gas and bloating, and settle the stomach after meals.

• Metaphysical & Folklore Uses: Ruled by Mercury and the Air element. Highly celebrated for psychic cleansing, energetic purification, lust/passion drawing, communication, and dispelling heavy spiritual gloom. Used in ritual floor washes, road-opening mojo bags, uncrossing baths, and clarity smudges to clear obstacles, ward off evil spirits, and invite fresh, vibrant luck.

• Uplifting Vitality & Cooling Refreshment: Rich in aromatic terpenes that help clear brain fog, relieve daily stress and nervous tension, and provide a naturally caffeine-free, citrusy boost to hot or iced artisan tea blends.

Brewing & Preparation

• Standard Hot Infusion: Steep 1–2 teaspoons of cut lemongrass in 8 oz of freshly boiled water for 8–10 minutes, covered tightly to trap the fragrant volatile citrus oils. Strain and sip warm, sweetened with raw honey.

• Revitalizing Iced Citrus Cooler: Steep 2 tablespoons in a 32 oz mason jar of boiling water for 15 minutes. Strain, stir in raw honey to taste, and pour over ice with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing summer beverage.

• Pairs Well With: Ginger Root, Hibiscus, Spearmint, Green Tea, Holy Basil (Tulsi), Butterfly Pea Flower.

Precautions & Storage

• Precautions: Generally very gentle, nourishing, and safe for daily culinary and beverage use. High therapeutic doses should be avoided during pregnancy due to potential mild uterine-stimulating actions. Consult your healthcare provider prior to high-dose use if nursing, managing kidney disorders, or taking prescription diuretics.

• Storage: Store sealed in an airtight pouch or glass jar in a cool, dark, dry pantry away from heat and direct sunlight to protect its vibrant green color and delicate, volatile citrus oils.
