What Is Lemongrass Essential oil?
Lemongrass, scientifically known as Cymbopogon, belongs to a family of around 55 grass species. Originating from the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australia, these plants require careful harvesting using sharp tools to ensure the leaves, rich in precious oil, aren’t split. The sought-after lemongrass oil is extracted through steam distillation of these leaves.
This oil is composed of various compounds, including terpene, ketones, alcohol, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. These elements contribute to the oil’s numerous benefits.
