DESCRIPTION:

Lemongrass is an aromatic medicinal grass that belongs to the genus Cymbopogon. Generally, lemongrass grows in semi-temperate and tropical areas on the continents of Asia, America and Africa. Lemongrass has a citrus aroma which can act as a natural anti-depressant. Its antiseptic content can help fight acne and even out skin tone. Apart from that, it can also help reduce headaches and relieve muscle pain.

Our lemongrass oil is obtained from extracting lemongrass leaves using the steam distillation method. The oil produced is a pale yellow to orange-brown liquid with a characteristic aroma of fresh, strong lemongrass, slightly lemony and herbal. The benefits of Lemongrass Essential Oil are abundant due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other bioactivities[1,2,3].

BOTANICAL AT A GLANCE:

Kitchen lemongrass is divided into 2 varieties, namely Cymbopogon flexuosus and Cymbopogon citratus. In the world of essential oil trade, Cymbopogon flexuosus oil is referred to as East Indian lemongrass oil. Meanwhile, Cymbopogon citratus is known as West Indian lemongrass oil.

Cymbopogon flexuosus, known as East Indian, Cochin or Malabar grass. C. flexuosus is a vigorous, densely tufted perennial aromatic grass growing to about 2 m tall. It flowers freely. Under this species, there are two types, viz. red grass and white grass, differentiated by stem color. East Indian citronella oil is known as Cochin oil in world trade, as 90% of it was shipped from Cochin Port in ancient times[4,5,6].

HISTORY:

Lemongrass has the scientific name Cymbopogon. Lemongrass is one of about 55 other species of grass in the grass family Poaceae. Of these varieties, the two most popular are Cymbopogon citratus and Cymbopogon flexuosus. While both can be used to produce essential oils, the former is mostly used for culinary purposes, while the latter is more popular for use in essential oils and perfumes. The lemongrass herb has fibrous stems and smells like lemon. In essential oil, the scent of Lemongrass is fresh and light with a hint of lemon.

Lemongrass originates from tropical regions such as Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia and Oceania where it has been used traditionally for medicinal, cosmetic and culinary purposes. In countries such as India, China, and Thailand, it has been used as a flavoring agent in beverages, desserts, and other culinary preparations due to its ability to improve digestion, improve circulation and immunity, treat infections, and reduce irregularities in the menstrual cycle. Due to its ability to reduce fever, Lemongrass has earned the name “fever grass” in some cultures.

In East India and Sri Lanka, Lemongrass was historically used to make soups, curries, and a local drink called "fever tea," which was intended to treat not only fever but also diarrhea, irregular menstruation, stomach ache, and skin infections.

In China, it has similar uses. Today, it continues to be used in Cuba and the Caribbean to reduce blood pressure and aid digestion. It is believed that news about the Lemongrass plant and its therapeutic essential oil began to spread rapidly in 1905, when a Sri Lankan researcher named J.F. Jovit obtained several “Kochin Sera” (Cymbopogon citrates) plants from South India and planted them on a plantation to conduct research. Lemongrass would eventually be cultivated commercially in Florida and Haiti in 1947.

A common theory states that the success of Citronella Essential Oil in the global market is because Citronella Essential Oil, a close relative of the Lemongrass plant, was exhibited at the World's Fair in 1951. According to reports, it is possible that the Philippines may have been exporting Lemongrass Oil since the 17th century but its distribution was limited and kept secret . In order to thrive in the United States, the Lemongrass plant was initially introduced to areas with warm climates. Lemongrass is one of the most popular essential oils used today due to its effectiveness, health benefits, and wide range of applications[7].
