Lemon grass is said to aid in digestion, as well as relieve spasms, muscle cramps, rheumatism and headaches.

Lemon grass pairs well with garlic, galangal, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, coconut milk, basil, cilantro and chilies. We do suggest using fresh lemon grass when available but if you are not near a big city or Asian grocer, this quality product is your best bet. It is advisable to soak dried sliced lemon grass for two hours before using.
