Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a tall, perennial grass native to tropical regions, with long, slender leaves that emit a strong citrus scent. It thrives in warm, humid climates and is cultivated for culinary and medicinal purposes.
Associated with purification, clarity, and psychic awareness, Lemongrass is believed to enhance concentration, dispel negative energy, and promote spiritual growth. Burning lemongrass as incense or using its essential oil in aromatherapy is thought to cleanse spaces of negativity and invite positive vibrations.
Medicinally, lemongrass contains citral, which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. It is used in traditional medicine, particularly in Asian cultures, to alleviate digestive issues, cold and flu symptoms, and anxiety, and promote better sleep.
