Lemongrass is a plant. The leaves and the oil are used to make medicine.

Lemongrass is used for treating digestive tract spasms, stomachache, high blood pressure, convulsions,
pain, vomiting, cough, achy joints (rheumatism), fever, thecommon cold, and exhaustion. It is also used to kill
germs and as a mild astringent.
Some people apply lemongrass and its essential oil directly to the skin for headache, stomachache, abdominal
pain, and muscle pain.
By inhalation, the essential oil of lemongrass is used as aromatherapy for muscle pain.
In food and beverages, lemongrass is used as a flavoring. For example, lemongrass leaves are commonly used as
lemon flavoring in herbal teas.
In manufacturing, lemongrass is used as a fragrance in soaps and cosmetics. Lemongrass is also used in
making vitamin A and natural citral.
How does it work?
Lemongrass might help prevent the growth of some bacteria and yeast. Lemongrass also contains substances that
are thought to relieve pain, reduce fever, stimulate the uterus and menstrual flow, and have antioxidant properties.
Lemongrass is native to India, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. It is widely used as a herb in Asian cuisine and also as
medicinal herb in India. It has a subtle citrus flavor and can be dried and powdered, or used fresh. It is commonly
used inteas, soups, and curries. It is also suitable for use with poultry, fish, beef, and seafood. It is often used as a
tea in African countries such as Togo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Latin American countries
such as Mexico. Lemongrass oil is used as a pesticide and a preservative. Research shows that lemongrass oil
has antifungal properties.[1]Despite its ability to repel insects, its oil is commonly used as a "lure" to attract honey
bees. "Lemongrass works conveniently as well as the pheromone created by the honeybee's Nasonov gland, also
known as attractant pheromones. Because of this, lemongrass oil can be used as a lure when trapping swarms or
attempting to draw the attention of hived bees."[2]

C. citratus from the Philippines, where it is locally known as tanglad

Citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus and Cymbopogon winterianus) grow to about 2 m (6.6 ft) and have
magenta-colored base stems. These species are used for the production of citronella oil, which is used in soaps, as
an insect repellent (especially mosquitoes)[3] in insect sprays and candles, and in aromatherapy, which is famous
inBintan Island, Indonesia, and the Philippines.[4] Therefore, its origin is assumed to be Indonesia. The principal
chemical constituents of citronella, geraniol and citronellol, are antiseptics, hence their use in household
disinfectants and soaps. Besides oil production, citronella grass is also used for culinary purposes, as a flavoring.
Citronella is usually planted in home gardens to ward off insects such as whiteflyadults. Its cultivation enables
growing some vegetables (e.g. tomatoes and broccoli) without applying pesticides.Intercropping should include
physical barriers, for citronella roots can take over the field.[5]
Lemongrass oil, used as a pesticide and preservative, is put on the ancient palm-leaf manuscripts found in India as
a preservative. It is used at the Oriental Research Institute Mysore, the French Institute of Pondicherry, the
Association for the Preservation of the Saint Thomas Christian Heritage in Kerala, and many other manuscript
collections in India. The oil also injects natural fluidity into the brittle palm leaves, and the hydrophobic nature of
the oil keeps the manuscripts dry so the text is not lost to decay due to humidity.
East Indian lemon grass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), also called Cochin grass or Malabar grass (Malayalam:
(inchippullu), is native to Cambodia, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, and Thailand, while West Indian lemon
grass (Cymbopogon citratus) is native to maritime Southeast Asia. It is known
as serai in Malaysia andBrunei, serai or sereh in Indonesia, and tanglad in the Philippines. While both can be
used interchangeably, C. citratus is more suitable for cooking. In India, C. citratus is used both as a medical herb
and in perfumes. C. citratus is consumed as a tea for anxiety in Brazilian folk medicine,[6] but a study in humans
found no effect.[7] The tea caused a recurrence of contact dermatitis in one case.[8]
Lemon grass is also known as gavati chaha ( ) in the Marathi language (gavat = grass; chaha = tea), and
is used as an addition to tea, and in preparations such as kadha, which is a traditional herbal 'soup' used against
coughs, colds, etc. This is called Ushir () in Shanskrit and Nepali and Khaskhas () in Hindi. It has

medicinal properties and is used extensively in Ayurvedic medicine. It is supposed to help with relieving cough
and nasal congestion.[9]

Magical Uses of Lemongrass: Lemongrass is a popular herb to work with for magical purposes in both
Hoodoo and Mexican Folk Magic traditions. I have received limpias in San Antonio where after wards I
was given a cup of lemongrass tea to facilitate with the purification process. Cleansing is one of the
primary attributes of lemongrass which is why we find italong with other members of its family like
citronella and palmerosa, in products meant to cleanse like Van Van oil. The cleansing action of
lemongrass is two-foldit clears up any obstacles standing in your way and as such has developed a
reputation for being an important ingredient in Road Opening magical work, and it also is known to
help in changing bad luck to good-making it especially popular with those who have been afflicted by
negative conditions. Because of its ability to foster cleansing and open conditions, lemongrass is
sometimes used in Love Magic.
I have done much experimenting with lemongrass and a combination of other herbs and roots when it
comes to increasing, clarifying, and in some cases sweetening communication between people and
have found it to be very effective for those conditions too. In magical uses every part of the
lemongrass stalk including the blade of grass may be used. Lemongrass may be dried and cut up into
smaller chunks for use in herbal mixes, spiritual preparations like baths or anointing oils, and may be
left in slightly longer pieces for use in ritual containers like honey jars and doll babies.
In Hoodoo: We are told that this herb has been used by many people for the purpose of Warding Off
Evil and bringing Good Luck in Love Affairs. Some of our customers tell us that they like to flavour
food with LEMONGRASS to enhance Romance and Sexual Pleasure. LEMONGRASS is also a major
ingredient in the celebrated New Orleans Style Van Van Oil, which is used to dress amulets, and it
enhances the popular Chinese Wash that is widely used to Clear Away Evil Messes and Crossed
Conditions. Many folks tell us that they make LEMONGRASS into tea and add it to their regular floor
wash to Get Rid of Jinxes and Enemy Tricks laid on the door-step.
Wonderful for adding a gentle lemony scent to incense, lemongrass is ruled by Mercury and thus is
helpful for developing magical skills. Add to ritual aids for ceremonial magic or divination, or, since
Mercury is also the master of disguise, consider adding it to incense or oils used for shapeshifting,
glamours, and invisibility. This herb lends innocence to Trickster items and is an essential

ingredient in Van Van oil. Unlike other citrus scents, lemongrass is relaxing and mildly sedating, so
this magic herb makes a nice bedtime tea for divination and is a good addition to mugwort and
lavender in dream pillows. For kitchen witchery, it is pleasant infused in wine vinegar too.
