The usage of lemon grass, a fragrant herb, in teas, beverages, and herbal remedies is growing. A genus of grass-like plants from Asia, Africa, Australia, and tropical islands is recognized by its common name, lemongrass.

Because several species smell like lemons, they are frequently grown as culinary and medicinal herbs. This grass forms compact clumps that can reach heights of 6 feet and a width of about 4 feet, though they are typically much smaller.

1.3 to 2.5 cm broad, up to 3 feet long, and with gently drooping tips, the leaves are strap-like.

Lemongrass may be grown in practically any sunny garden with the right care, despite the fact that it is native to hot, humid regions of Southeast Asia.

The leaves are used to make tea, while the stem is utilized in cooking. For upset tummies, lemongrass tea can be soothing and comforting. Sleepy Time Tea, a popular tea blend, contains German chamomile flower, lemongrass, and lavender.
