Historic Use of Lemongrass
Lemongrass is an insanely beneficial herb and has been used for just about everything throughout history.
In western cultures, lemongrass is most known for its amazing lemony scent and is popularly sold as an essential oil for aromatherapy.
However, in eastern cultures where it is naturally found, it has been used for much more than a relaxing aromatic scent.
For millennia lemongrass has been used for many medicinal, culinary, sanitary, and repelling solutions.
It has been used for insomnia, pain relief, anxiety, appetite suppressant, diuretic, digestive aid, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, and as a topical skin-care aid.
The compounds found in lemongrass work as an insect repellent and are used in many popular brands of bug repellents.
Its been a popular home cleaning agent in many floor washes and wood polishers due to its bug-repelling qualities, sanitizing abilities, and preservative properties.
Museums in India use lemongrass oil as a helpful preserving solution for ancient manuscripts written on papyrus paper.
Some studies have suggested that it is useful in lowering cholesterol and fats in the blood.

Growing Lemongrass
Lemongrass prefers well-drained soil and should be planted in the full sun.
It requires a lot of sun since it is naturally adapted to hot tropical open areas.
Unlike most plants that require well-drained soil, lemongrass needs its soil to be moist and fertile.
If you decide to grow this herb in a greenhouse, or indoors near a window, you can use a soil-based potting mix.
Be sure to water frequently during spring and summer and set your pots outdoors so that they can grow into full hearty plants.
During the winter, bring your outside pots indoors and water much less frequently.
You can harvest your lemongrass multiple times throughout late spring and early fall.
Happy Th-HERBS-day!
