LEMON GRASS

The healing properties of lemongrass have been used for over a millennium. Taken as a tea, it helps against stomach pain and nausea and is also said to brighten the mood. Responsible for this is the contained citral, which has an antibacterial effect on our body. If the grass is processed into a paste, it can help against acute rheumatic pains by applying it directly to the skin. These and also slight skin inflammations can be treated with a medicinal lemongrass bath and also makes the skin more supple. That is why the plant is often found as a bath additive, for example in combination with olive oil.
