Fresh Leaves of Lemongrass May Be Used In Spiced Indian Tea

Lemongrass Stalks Are Used in Southeast Asian Cooking

Dot’s Thot: I always thought that citronella candles were made from lemon oil.

The  article below made me look it up and now I know I was mistaken.  For another description of citronella, check out http://tinyurl.com/q2hnb5.

I thought I would post the information, because I had not personally read about this before.  My engagement with lemongrass has only been with the herb, not the oil.

I add the leaves (green part) to my Indian Spicy Tea when I have it on hand.  I do enjoy Thai dishes flavored with lemongrass, although I have not cooked with it myself..  Finding uses for foodstuff, other than for the sheer enjoyment of eating and drinking is satisfying to my curiosity.  Hope you think so too. Aloha, Dot

Who would have thought lemongrass is an efficient toenail fungus remedy ingredient. When I think of lemongrass, I usually associate it with Thai’s hot and sour fish soup. It is a staple in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Lemongrass in its oil form is used in herbal and homeopathic remedies.

In ancient Ayurvedic medicine, it is utilized to relieve cold, cough and fever, and as a preservative, preserving ancient scriptures from molds and other fungus. In Brazil , it is used to relieve stomach pains, diarrhea and nervous ailments. Lemongrass is commonly used as an insect repellent, citronella. There are several studies as to where lemongrass oil is best applied. In a study conducted by the University of Wisconsin, lemongrass oil has positive effect in lowering cholesterol.

Recently it is has been included in a toenail fungus remedy, lemongrass oil’s antimicrobial qualities have been clinically tested to be effective against numerous types of bacteria strains and fungi. The unique characteristic of this essential oil is its ability penetrate and inject natural fluids and it still keeps toenails dry and protects it from unwanted moisture.

Together with other essential oils, lemongrass makes a potent antifungal treatment that also preserves the nail from crumbling and further deterioration.

Dot’s News: SaffronDelicacy.com Store Completed !!

Hi all,

Thanks for the encouragement from family and friends!  Even with some tool vendor problems and a short trip (driving LA-LV) for 3 days, it got done in between meetings, meals with friends, and the casino, not to mention the driving back and forth.

Now, we can get to talking and tweeting about saffron, one of my favorite spices in the whole world.  I once grew the crocuses in Anaheim and loved the very special aroma from the home-air-dred stigma.  However, the crocuses only lasted a few seasons and we moved — but there are still some very fond memories of the lovely lavender-purple blossoms and the super fragrance of our own saffron.

Aloha,

Dot
