Lemongrass, also known as "citronella," is a herbaceous plant native to tropical regions of Asia. This fragrant plant is cultivated in many parts of the world, including Latin America, Africa, and India, for its numerous benefits.
The narrow, elongated leaves of lemongrass emit a strong lemon scent and are often used to flavor dishes or beverages. Lemongrass essential oil is obtained from the leaves and stems of the plant through steam distillation.
Organic lemongrass essential oil is a liquid with a fresh and lemony fragrance, highly valued in aromatherapy. This essential oil is rich in citronellal and geraniol, compounds that have antiseptic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and insect-repelling properties.
