PLANT INFORMATION
Plant History
The origins of lemongrass come from tropical climates such as; Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia and Oceanic countries. There are two main types of lemongrass, Cymbopogon Citratus and Cymbopogon Flexuosus. C. Citratus is often used in Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisine to aid in digestion and C. Flexuosus is mainly used in essential oil therapy. Lemongrass is sometimes referred to as “fever grass” because it can help break high body temperatures when lemongrass leaves are muddled into tea. This plant has also been used for it’s antimicrobial properties and can treat infection, help in cold and flu recovery and can alleviate muscle stiffness by increasing circulation. In 1905, thetherapeutic properties of this plant peaked and in 1947, lemongrass began to be grown commercially in Florida & Haiti.
Botanical Information
Lemongrass belongs to the Poaceae family which is also home to 55 other plant species. These plants are a perennial herb and grow in clusters, often reaching 2 meters in diameter, with leaves that can grow up to 1 meter in length. These plants can also have a fragrant aroma, bringing freshness to the areas they are grown.
Growing Information
Lemongrass needs a warm, humid climate with full sunlight in order to survive. In North America this plant would thrivebest in southern USA. You can grow lemongrass indoors or in a greenhouse, just ensure to replicate a tropical environment and plant in a pot using rich, well-draining soil and ensure the roots don’t dry out. This plant also needs to be fertilized every couple of weeks during its growing season.
Parts Used
Once lemongrass blades reach 12” in height and the base of the stems are 1/2” thick, they can be harvested. The whole shoot can be used, the base of the stalk is edible and used in many dishes, suc as coconut curries and the leaves can be used in teas or for oil extraction.
OIL INFORMATION
Extraction Method
Lemongrass oil is extracted through steam distillation, as are most essential oils. Fresh leaves or freeze dried leaves are used in the extraction process. The leaves are placed in a chamber of the steaming still and as the steam heats up, it pulls the essential oil out of the leaves. The steam and oil then travel through the apparatus and when they reach a holding chamber, the temperature cools, causing it to re-liquify. The mixture is then carried through to the separator and the oil is siphoned off the water and used in essential oils, while the fragrant water is commonly used in cosmetics and to scent products.
