Properties

Besides being delicious as a tea or refreshing as a fragrance, lemongrass is also an astringent which makes it a great toner ingredient. It soothes and balances skin PH and helps in reducing cellulite. It has anti-depressive and relaxing qualities and is also a natural insect repellent. In haircare, it acts as a natural moisturizer and can prevent dry scalp and dandruff when diluted.

history

It is a popular tea in Guatemala and the region – especially in cases of fever (it is locally known as ‘fever grass’ in Belize).
