Its officially winter time and all spring/summer/fall crops are dead and the majority of the land is brown. We do have special winter crops that we grow all winter long so as to always have fresh food, but this is a dried and dead Bounty Of The Land Harvest!

In this bonus winter time harvest special I share with you my 16th Episode of Bounties of the Land!

There is always abundance on the land and we cultivate and appreciate it here in The Garden of Eden. 

Today I go out to harvest some dead and dry (though damp because of the rain) it is a most wonderful tea with many health and healing benefits. 

Some of the general health benefits of lemongrass:

• Cough, cold & sore throats• Anxiety• High cholesterol• Type 2 diabetes• Colitis• Digestion• Rough, dry, skin• Acne• Constipation• Kidney detoxification• Relaxation & deep sleep. 

Lemongrass has many health benefits and healing properties containing many compounds, oils, minerals and vitamins that are known to have anti-oxidant and disease preventing properties. This is of course true for many herbs  yet the flavor and smell of lemongrass is presently special due to the primary chemical component in lemongrass citral, of which has strong anti-fungal & anti-microbial properties.

Lemongrass as many other herbs with these properties inhibits microbial and bacterial growth in the body internally and externally, helping to prevent and cure bacterial infections in the urinary tract, colon & stomach  .

Lemongrass is high in folic acid and essential vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) and thiamin (vitamin B-1). Lemongrass also contains many anti-oxidant minerals and vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, zinc, calcium, iron, manganese, copper, and magnesium. Lemongrass tea can act as a diuretic thus is highly effective in flushing toxins and waste out of the body. This is great for the detox of many organs and helps improve their functioning. It is best to drink in the morning or during fasting. 

As one of the mantra miracles of natures solutions.  There are many studies online and in medical journals illustrating how lemongrass kills cancer cells without harming normal cells.

Lemon grass is one of many super-herbs that has been used for hundreds of years for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Lemongrass is a green and or white, grass like plant with sharp blades of which can cut you if not handled properly. 

 It grows naturally in warm tropical climates. It is native to the southern part of India, but is also found in abundance in other South East Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia and Indonesia.

Lemongrass has a wonderful a distinct lemon smell & flavor when cut or crushed due to a release of an essential oil called citral. The dried herb also releases this same flavor when steeped as a tea.

You can use it in many culinary dishes as an herb which tastes and smells delicious but is very healthy and even medicinal. My favorite way to use lemon grass is as a tea, because its such a nice smell/flavor, but also very easy to get all the healing properties from the tea. 

Check out the video if you like though all the essential info was written out here. I hope you are inspired to support the many many benefits of what nature provides and help it help you!
