Many people are unaware of the benefits and uses of lemon grass. If you have not heard of it, lemon grass is a citronella and according to Healthline, it is a ‘tall, stalk plant’ that has a ‘fresh, lemony aroma and a citrus flavor’. There are a number of benefits of drinking and eating lemon grass such as properties of antioxidants, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. These properties may reduce your risk of cancer, and for those who are already undergoing chemotherapy and radiation lemongrass tea can be used as an adjuvant (to suppress secondary tumor formation). Of course, at Stone International Wellness Center we highly encourage and recommend that patients discuss their health with their western doctors before engaging in any of our services, treatments, or products. We believe in the power of both western and eastern medicines, practices and medical guidance. 

Other benefits to lemongrass is that it may help improve healthier digestion. It is suggested for an upset stomach, stomach cramping or other digestive problems that a patient should drink a cup of lemongrass. In many studies it is shown that lemongrass may help improve and protect your body from stomach ulcers, diarrhea, and nausea. Lemongrass can also help to fight off bacteria such as Escherichia coli, better known as E-coli. 

Our practitioners highly recommend our patients to drink and eat lemongrass for their various benefits such as treating infections and treating respiratory diseases. In addition, lemongrass can reduce a fever as well as detoxing the body. Detoxing the body is so important because everyone is exposed to approximately 80,000 chemicals each day and the body acts as a sponge, absorbing it all.

Our practitioners understand that life can be hectic, stressful and overwhelming. It certainly is not a new concept that many people choose to partake in recreational drugs, however, by doing so this can be very harmful to your body. We highly encourage our patients to become sober and to live a life that consists of healthy, clean eating. Lemongrass is a healthier alternative that can help reduce inflammation, pain, and stress. Stone International Wellness Center provides bundles of fresh lemongrass among other fresh, natural herbs to help fulfill a clean and healthy life. If you are wanting to detox your body from chemicals and toxins and wanting to have a healthy lifestyle change, we provide dry and wet cupping.
