Lemongrass tea is generally a safe and healthy herbal drink. Lemongrass is easy to grow or find at most natural food stores.

Animal and laboratory research has shown that lemongrass has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. Lemongrass may also help protect your stomach lining and improve your lipid profile.

Many studies on lemongrass were done using lemongrass essential oil, not lemongrass tea. More human studies are needed using lemongrass tea to confirm its purported health benefits.

Don’t self-treat any condition with lemongrass tea or use it in place of your prescribed medications without first consulting a doctor.
