Lemongrass has a soothing, fresh, and clean fragrance, blending bright citrus notes with subtle herbal undertones. The aroma is a delicate balance of lemony zest with earthy sweetness, enriched by a hint of green freshness. It’s an invigorating scent that calms the mind and rejuvenates the spirit. Lemongrass is one of my favorite fragrances, and I often use it in my cooking (LEMONGRASS RICE). At Nava’s Zen, we grow lemongrass as part of our holistic wellness (CHINESE VEGETARIAN LONG BEANS STIR FRIED)approach, sharing it with our clients alongside urban gardening tips. For those interested in growing lemongrass, the process is simple: place a few stalks in water until roots appear, then plant them in soil. With time, the roots will take hold, and the plant will thrive.
