Lemongrass

Lemongrass comes from Cymbopogon citratus, a fragrant grass widely used across Southeast Asian food and herbal traditions. Its fresh lemon-like aroma makes it suitable for teas, infusions, culinary blends and botanical capsules. The lower stalk and leaves can be cut, dried, milled or processed depending on the product form.

Drying and storage are especially important because lemongrass aroma can fade when exposed to heat, moisture or oxygen. For Eluneya, lemongrass is a strong origin-focused ingredient because its quality can be connected to growing region, harvest timing, drying method, processing location and batch-level documentation.

Lemongrass is traditionally valued for its fresh, uplifting aroma and its role in herbal teas and daily wellness routines. It is commonly used in products that aim to feel clean, light and refreshing.

In compliance-sensitive markets, it is best positioned around sensory qualities, traditional use and botanical heritage rather than direct medical effects. Avoid strong claims related to digestion, sleep, detox, blood pressure or inflammation unless approved.

Naturally occurring constituents reported in Lemongrass include citral compounds such as geranial and neral, together with myrcene, geraniol, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Exact composition may vary by origin, growing conditions, plant part, processing and batch.
