I LOVE LEMONGRASS!
This is another of my favorite oils. This list of benefits is quite long, and it is certainly not complete. Lemongrass essential oil has many health benefits including, but not limited to:
·
analgesic
·
antidepressant
·
antimicrobial
·
antiseptic
·
astringent
·
antibacterial
·
anti-gas
·
deodorant
·
diuretic
·
fever reducer
·
fungicidal
·
insecticidal
·
sedative
·
it can lower cholesterol
·
it helps regenerate connective tissues!!
And, it's relatively inexpensive as well!
Lemongrass smells
lemony, but it is milder and sweeter. This grass is used in beverages (such as tea),
desserts and other foods as a flavoring agent. It grows and spreads very fast
like any other grass, and to make things even better, mosquitoes don't like it! To me it has a clean lemony smell. I plan to make some deck pots next year that include lemongrass.

These websites are quite informative, with some wonderful information on the benefits lemongrass offers:
