Lemongrass is steam distilled from Cymbopogon citratus one of several aromatic
flowering grasses in the Poaceae family. Originally, native to India and Guatemala, this botanical
now thrives around the world in warm, tropical climates. A greater amount of rainfall creates a
higher citral content in the lemongrass, which makes it superior for essential oil use. Today,
India is the top producer of lemongrass oil with around 80 percent of the total annual production
in the world. It is used as a medicinal herb in India and it is common in Asian cuisine for soups,
teas, curries, and seafood. In African and South American countries, it is popularly used for
making tea. However, the uses for Lemongrass oil extend far beyond the kitchen. With a
pungent aroma, Lemongrass essential oil is a favorite for massage, offers purifying benefits for
the skin, and promotes a positive outlook. It can also support healthy digestion when used
internally. Whether applied topically, used aromatically, or taken internally, the uses and benefits
