Lemongrass produces a smoky, citrusy essential oil that offers a wealth of benefits to its user. For years, lemongrass has been used in Asian cuisine in soups, teas, and curries, as well as with fish, poultry, beef, and seafood. Lemongrass also has a cleansing and toning effect on the skin, which is why it is often used in skin care products for its benefits. Lemongrass has a distinct, herbaceous scent that can increase concentration and promote a positive attitude.
