Originally from Asia, lemongrass is an aromatic and tropical medicinal plant close to Java citronella. However, with its long light green leaves, it is larger (it can reach 3 meters high).
The genus “Cymbopogon” includes about fifty species native to Asia. Not all of them provide essential oils. You can find for example:
- Cymbopogon nardus EO: the Ceylon lemongrass, that is the most used.
- Cymbopogon winterianus is Java citronella EO.
These two essential oils have very similar properties. But Java citronella is a bit more anti-inflammatory.
The other one is Cymbopogon martinii var. motia, known as palmarosa EO.
This one is very different from the previous ones in scent and properties because it contains a high percentage of geraniol. It is a major antifungal essential oil, mosquito repellent, spasmolytic and skin regenerative
Chemistry:
- Aldehydes: citral – geranial + neral (60 to 86%)
- Monoterpenols: geraniol (<8%)
