Cymbopogon , also known as lemongrass , barbed wire grass , silky heads , oily heads , Cochin grass , Malabar grass , citronella grass or fever grass , is a genus of Asian , African , Australian , and tropical island plants in the grass family .[5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
Some species (particularly Cymbopogon citratus ) are commonly cultivated as culinary and medicinal herbs because of their scent, resembling that of lemons (Citrus limon ).
The name cymbopogon derives from the Greek words kymbe (κύμβη , 'boat') and pogon (πώγων , 'beard') "which mean [that] in most species, the hairy spikelets project from boat-shaped spathes."[10] Lemongrass and its oil are believed to possess therapeutic properties.[9] [11] [12]
Citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus and Cymbopogon winterianus ) grow to about 2 metres (6 + 1 ⁄2 feet) and have magenta-colored base stems. These species are used for the production of citronella oil , which is used in soaps, as an insect repellent (especially mosquitoes and houseflies) in insect sprays and candles, and aromatherapy. The principal chemical constituents of citronella, geraniol and citronellol , are antiseptics , hence their use in household disinfectants and soaps. Besides oil production, citronella grass is also used for culinary purposes as a flavoring.
Culinary [ edit ]
C. citratus from the Philippines , where it is locally known as tanglad
East Indian lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus ), also called Cochin grass or Malabar grass, is native to Cambodia , Vietnam , Laos , India , Sri Lanka , Burma , and Thailand , while West Indian lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus ) is native to maritime Southeast Asia . While both can be used interchangeably, C. citratus is more suitable for cooking.
Folk medicine [ edit ]
In India, C. citratus is used as a medical herb and in perfumes. C. citratus is consumed as a tea for anxiety in Brazilian folk medicine,[13] but a study in humans found no effect.[14] The tea caused a recurrence of contact dermatitis in one case.[15]
Folk magic [ edit ]
In Hoodoo , lemongrass is the primary ingredient of van van oil , one of the most popular oils used in conjure.[16] Lemongrass is used in this preparation and on its own in hoodoo to protect against evil, spiritually clean a house, and to bring good luck in love affairs.[17]
In beekeeping , lemongrass oil imitates the pheromone emitted by a honeybee 's Nasonov gland to attract bees to a hive or a swarm.
