Cymbopogon flexuosus
Most are familiar with lemongrass as an Asian food staple, or as a potted plant to ward off insects on the patio and the essential oil is just as useful. Lemongrass is less volatile than lemon and does not oxidise as quickly, so is often preferred in preparations desiring a lemon note that need a longer shelf life. Stengthens and nurtures nervy types - allaying stress. Assuages tension in body rubs and settles upsets. Rehabilitating for stressed individuals.
