"Homesteading is like hitting two birds with one stone."
Good day Steemians today Im gonna share some nice information of the health benefits of this Lemon grass. So first what is Lemon Grass is a plant cultivated mainly for its fragrance it is commercially purchased by the companies that produces detergent soap. You might have already noticed its smell in Perla Blue if you live here in the Philippines.
So what are the health benefits?
Pain Reliever
According to this source philippineherbalmedicine Lemon grass is effective pain reliever.
Studies show that tanglad helps ease stomach discomforts and aids in lessening, if not totally curing, the pain caused by toothache and sprain. Lemon grass also displays anti-bacterial activities and anti-fungal properties, thus, eradicates ring worms. Like malunggay, lemon grass can also be applied to sprains for easy healing. In order to enjoy these benefits of tanglad, one needs to prepare a liniment. This can be done by chopping four ounces of the leaves and roots of tanglad and boiling them, along with fresh coconut oil. If it is infusion that an individual wishes to achieve, use one pint of water to boil the tanglad leaves with.
Insect Repellant
Lemon grass plant is also effective and affordable insect repellant, particularly for mosquitoes. One can achieve an effect to this end either by applying liniment, or by crushing its leaves and placing in strategic places at home also on window sills. It is also an option to plant this around the house so that placement of crushed leaves would no longer be needed.
Worried of Snakes?
Snakes don’t like the citrus smell that comes out of Lemon Grass thats why it is a good snake repellant. So i suggest that you plant this around your house as a good defense to those creepy snakes.
Food Flavorings
It is also widely used for food flavorings.
