Weight loss

It may help you lose weight

Lemongrass tea is used as a detox tea to kick-start your metabolism and help you lose weight. Even so, most research on lemongrass and weight loss is anecdotal, not scientific. Since lemongrass has been found to have diuretic properties, if you drink enough of it, you’re likely to drop some pounds.

In general, replacing soft drinks and other sugar-sweetened drinks in your diet with herbal teas like lemongrass may help you reach your weight loss goals. However, avoid drinking lemongrass tea exclusively. This can increase your risk of side effects.

Try alternating cups of lemongrass tea with water or other unsweetened drinks.
