LEMONGRASS ESSENTIAL OIL

Lemongrass overview Information

Lemongrass is a plant. The leaves and the oil are used to make medicine.

Lemongrass is commonly taken orally, applied directly to the skin, or inhaled as aromatherapy for many different conditions. But there is limited scientific research to support any of its common uses. 

In food and beverages, lemongrass is used as a flavoring. For example, lemongrass leaves are commonly used as "lemon" flavoring in herbal teas.

In manufacturing, lemongrass is used as a fragrance in doedorants, soaps, and cosmetics. Lemongrass is also used in making vitamin A and natural citral.

How does it work?

Lemongrass might help prevent the growth of some bacteria and yeast. Lemongrass also contains substances that are thought to relieve pain and swelling, reduce fever, improve levels of sugar and cholesterol in the blood, stimulate the uterus and menstrual flow, and have antioxidant properties.

Uses & Effectiveness

  • Dandruff. Early research suggests that applying a lemongrass oil solution to the hair reduces dandruff in some people.
  • High cholesterol. Early research suggests that taking lemongrass oil by mouth does not reduce cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol.
  • Yeast infection in the mouth (thrush). Early research suggests that drinking a lemongrass tea decreases symptoms of thrush in people with HIV/AIDS.
  • Stomach and intestinal cramps.
  • Stomach ache.
  • High blood pressure.
  • Convulsions.
  • Pain and swelling.
  • Vomiting.
  • Cough.
  • Achy joints (rheumatism).
  • Fever.
  • Common cold.
  • Diabetes.
  • Exhaustion.
  • Headache.
  • Use as an antiseptic and astringent.
  • Other conditions.
More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of lemongrass for these uses.

Side Effects & Safety

Lemongrass is LIKELY SAFE for most people when used in food amounts. 

It is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth,

 applied to the skin, or inhaled as aromatherapy short-term for medicinal purposes. 

Rarely, lemongrass oil might cause a rash of skin irritation when applied to the skin.

 However, there have been some toxic side effects, such as lung problems after inhaling

 lemongrass and a fatal poisoning after a child swallowed a lemongrass oil-based insect repellent.

Special Precautions & Warnings:

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It is LIKELY UNSAFE to take lemongrass by mouth during pregnancy. Lemongrass seems to be able to start menstrual flow, so there is a concern that it might cause a miscarriage.

There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking lemongrass if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
