Little about Lemongrass

Lemongrass Oil is produced from two distinctly different botanical species of Cymbopogon. One is a native of East India where it grows wild and is now cultivated over a comparatively limited area in the western parts of India. The plant is Cymbopogon Flexuasus and only cultivated plants are used for steam distillation. The other plant, Cymbopogon Citratus, is possibly a native of Ceylon and parts of East India, but it is now found only under cultivation. Unlike C. Flexuosus, the Citratus is widely distributed all over the world and it has been given the somewhat confusing name West Indian Lemongrass. Lemongrass Oil is steam distilled from the fresh or partly dried leaves of the above grass and occasionally, it is water and steam distilled.

It is a Yellow pale liquid, which is rich in various medicinal properties and mainly protects the body against falling prey to different diseases like muscle aches, athlete’s foot, flatulence, etc. The Lemongrass Body Oil manufactured by us is also used in the treatment of various skin diseases such as acne
