Lemon grass is low in calories and has no cholesterol, making it a beneficial flavoring for cooking and teas.
The essential oil in this plant called citral is highly fragrant and contains a substance believed to be beneficial in relieving spasm, muscle cramps, headaches, and the symptoms of rheumatism.
Lemon grass is also known for its calming effect that could be helpful for insomnia, anxiety or stress.
Lemon grass is rich in calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and zinc.
It also supplies important B vitamins such as pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, and thiamin, which the body needs replenished regularly as any excesses of these vitamins are flushed from the system through the urine.
Lemon grass is traditionally used to help control and normalize heart rate and for high blood pressure.
