Fragrant lemongrass is a beloved household remedy across tropical Asia, Africa, and the Americas. In Vietnam, fresh leaves are steeped into a cooling tea and a decoction given for fevers and digestive upset, as recorded by Nguyen Van Duong (1993). In West Africa, infusions and decoctions of the leaves and sometimes tender stems are used for coughs, colic, and fever, with concise preparations summarized by Kerharo (1973). In Madagascar, a leaf infusion or decoction is taken for colds and fever, as noted by Rasoanaivo et al. (2011). In the Dominican Republic, a tea of fresh leaves is a common household drink for colds and stomach aches (Fuentes & Lange, 2019), and in Cuba it is similarly used as a tonic for digestive complaints (Fuentes & Lange, 2019).

A simple preparation most people favor is a mild “lemongrass tea.” Use about 6–8 g of fresh leaves (roughly 2–3 sprigs) chopped into short pieces per 250 ml of water. Bring the water to a boil, add the leaves, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, then steep off the heat for 5 minutes before straining. Serve warm or cold. Start with 1 cup per day and adjust to no more than 2–3 cups for short periods. The decoction is traditionally taken in similar volumes for fever and stomach upsets in Madagascar (Rasoanaivo et al., 2011). Safety note: some people experience sedation or a slight drop in blood pressure with regular use; avoid concurrent alcohol or sedatives and limit use during pregnancy and lactation; do not use if allergic to grasses.

The characteristic aroma and taste of lemongrass come from citral (a mixture of neral and geranial), along with geraniol, citronellal, and linalool. These volatile terpenes are well known in this species and are associated with the calming, carminative, and antispasmodic actions recorded in the preparations above.

Today, lemongrass is still brewed as a daily tea in many households, sold fresh or dried in markets, and widely available as a commercial tea blend. Ongoing research explores its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, reflecting long-standing traditional use documented across Vietnam, West Africa, Madagascar, and the Caribbean (Fuentes & Lange, 2019; Kerharo, 1973; Nguyen Van Duong, 1993; Rasoanaivo et al., 2011).

General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
- Steam‑distilled essential oil (lemongrass oil), standardized to 70–85 % citral.
- Fresh or dried leaf material sold as “lemongrass herb” for culinary use.
- Aqueous or alcoholic leaf extracts used as natural flavor concentrates in food processing.

Food and beverages (non‑medicinal):
- Leaves are a traditional flavor in Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Indian dishes, added to soups (e.g., tom yum), curries, stir‑fries and meat marinades.
- Dried leaf powder serves as a dry seasoning for processed snacks, sauces and instant noodle mixes.
- Essential oil or oil‑infused syrups flavor beverages such as lemongrass tea, non‑alcoholic flavored water and cocktail preparations; they also add flavor to carbonated soft drinks.
- The oil/leaf is listed as a permitted flavoring in EU Flavouring Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 and US FDA 21 CFR 184.1465.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
- Lemongrass oil is used as a top‑note in citrus/herbal perfumes, colognes, soaps, shampoos, body lotions and deodorants.
- IFRA guidelines set maximum usage rates in leave‑on and rinse‑off products, where the high citral content provides a fresh, lemony odor.

Industrial and craft applications:
- The essential oil functions as a natural fragrance in household cleaners (all‑purpose sprays, dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents) and in “green” scented product formulations.
- Oil‑based flavorings are added to processed foods (crackers, chips, instant soups) to provide a citrus aroma and taste.
- Dried leaf material is employed in natural matting, thatching and broom production in certain rural craft traditions.

Properties relevant to use:
- Citral (geranial + neral) makes up ≈ 70–85 % of the oil; other monoterpenes include geraniol, citronellal and limonene.
- Physical data: specific gravity 0.885–0.902 (20 °C); refractive index 1.483–1.490; acid value
