🌍 Origin & Background

Lemongrass is native to tropical Asia, with major commercial cultivation in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Brazil. It thrives in areas with well-distributed rainfall. Traditionally, lemongrass has been used in Ayurveda and folk medicine for digestive, antimicrobial, and therapeutic purposes.

🌱 Plant Description & Raw Material

Cymbopogon flexuosus is a tall, aromatic grass, growing 1.5–2 meters high. The oil is concentrated in the leaves and stems, with yield and quality influenced by soil, climate, harvesting time, and distillation efficiency.

🔥 Extraction Method

Lemongrass Oil is extracted by steam distillation of freshly harvested leaves. The plant material is chopped to increase surface area for optimal oil recovery. The oil is separated from hydrosol and collected in pure form.

Each batch is GC-MS analyzed for chemical composition and purity.
