Lemongrass Tea

Lemongrass is very popular among midwives who use it during postnatal care to dispel "wind" in new mothers. Unlike ginger, lemongrass is not "heaty", and doesn't taste "spicy". Furthermore, lemongrass helps detoxify the body gently and reduces water retention, thus helping new mothers regain their shapely figures after childbirth.

In 2005, researchers at Ben Gurion Univety of the Negev, Israel, discovered that lemongrass kills cancer cells in vitro, while leaving healthy cell unharmed. This discovery is also supported by numerous other researchers around the world, and the studies are published in respected journals including Chemico-biological Interactions and Planta Medica.
