Lemongrass is used for purification and digestion. Historically it was used for hypertension, inflammation, as a sedative, and for treatment of fevers and digestion.
In a 2008 study, 91 single essential oils were tested against MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and lemongrass.
The study found that “Remarkably, lemongrass essential oil completely inhibited all MRSA growth on the plate” (Chao S, et al., 2008).
