Lemongrass has been used for infectious illnesses and fever, as an insecticide, and as a sedative to the central nervous system.

In my book I use this in my Lemongrass Cream which tops my chai cake. Such an easy way to add a lemongrass flavour into a plant based cream.

A drop or two into a salad dressing creates a lovely oriental twist.

If buying oils as well as the book delivery may take up to 5 - 7 days.
