Lemongrass
(Cymbopogon citratus)
This tall (1.5 m), widespread perennial grass grows in tufts with many narrow, sharp leaves starting from a rhizome. Crushing a leaf releases a very pleasant lemony aroma.
It is an active ingredient in our Stress Relief Roll On, Sore Throat Spray and After Bite Roll On.
From India
Lemongrass thrives in the tropical regions of India, Indonesia, and Brazil. It grows rapidly, allowing for the first harvest just two months after planting and subsequent harvests every 3–5 months.
