Cymbopogon citratus whole
Whole lemongrass plant including stalk and leaf; used in Thai, Malaysian, and Caribbean medicine for fever, digestion, and antimicrobial.
Cymbopogon citratus, commonly known as lemongrass, is a tropical grass widely used in traditional medicine for its digestive, antipyretic, and antimicrobial properties. Its primary active compounds include citral, geraniol, and myrcene, which contribute to its diverse pharmacological effects. Modern research supports its use as an anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal agent.
Lemongrass exerts its effects through multiple mechanisms. Citral, the major constituent, acts as a partial agonist at GABA-A receptors, contributing to anxiolytic and sedative effects. Geraniol and myrcene inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing inflammation. The essential oil components disrupt microbial cell membranes, leading to antimicrobial and antifungal activity. Additionally, limonene and linalool may modulate serotonin and dopamine receptors, further supporting mood and digestive benefits.
