Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus or Andropogon citratus) essential oil is extracted by the steam distillation of dried lemongrass. The main constituents of its essential oil are myrcene, citronellal, geranyl acetate, nerol, geraniol, neral, limonene, and citral.

As the name implies, lemongrass smells just like lemons, but it is milder, sweeter, and far less sour. This grass is used in countless beverages (including tea), desserts and other forms of culinary creations as a flavoring agent, where fresh lemon is not available or is not to be used because of its potent flavor. It is widely used in Chinese and Thai recipes. It grows and spreads very fast like any other grass and fetches a good price in the market, which makes it a profitable and common item in organic and mainstream markets.

Benefits from its oil include but are not limited to: Pain relief, reduces depression, lowers pain, promotes healing and increases urination and helps clean the kidneys.
