Lemongrass essential oil is extracted from Cymbopogon citratus, also known as 'oil grass', from the fresh or partially dried leaves through steam distillation. This oil is said to fight fatigue and help refresh a tired body and mind. It's also a pleasant-smelling way to keep a pet free of fleas and ticks. Lemongrass contains citral which gives the main flavor to lemon zest.

Lemongrass oil is believed to relieve jet lag, headaches, nervous exhaustion, and stress. It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, for faster recovery from an illness, and stimulates glandular secretion. It helps strengthen muscles and tissue, relieving muscle pain. It is useful for treating sore throat, laryngitis and fever, and helps stop the spread of infection. It helps with colitis, indigestion and gastroenteritis. It removes oily skin and reduces excessive perspiration. However, it can irritate the skin, so be careful when using it on the skin. Avoid use during pregnancy.

Lemongrass is a perennial aromatic grass that used to grow wild in India, where it is known as choomana poolu. Also known as Indian Verbena or Indian Melissa Oil, it is used in Ayurveda, the ancient traditional medicine, to reduce fever and treat infectious diseases; it is therefore also called 'fever grass'.
