Lemon grass, also known as fever grass, is a perennial plant native to
many Africa and Asia. It is grown for its fragrant leaves and stalks
which are used as a flavoring. As the name implies, lemon grass smells
like lemon; however, it has much sweeter and milder taste. This herb is
often used in Asian cuisines as a flavoring agent because of its strong
flavor.
Lemon grass is an excellent source of vitamins as well as micro and
macro elements. It's full of vitamins A and C, folate, folic acid,
magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and
manganese. It also contains small traces of B vitamins.
Apart from its culinary uses, lemongrass has a wide variety of
therapeutic effects. It is is used for treating stomachache, high blood
pressure, convulsions, pain, cough, rheumatism, fever, the common cold,
and exhaustion. It can kill germs or serve as a mild astringent. Recent
studies have also shown that regular consumption of lemon grass may
lower LDL cholesterol levels.
You can brew the tea by steeping one teaspoon in a cup of hot water for
