  • Relaxing Grass


    Whilst the smell of freshly cut grass often stirs up memories of relaxing summer holidays and Bob Marley liked to chill-out with ‘grass’, researchers have recently discovered that lemongrass could hold the key to relieving anxiety and soothing away stress…

    In a recent study1 scientists looked at the effect in 40 individuals of inhaling the aroma of lemongrass, as compared to control aromas of either tea tree oil or distilled water. Immediately after the inhaling the aromas the participants had to do a video monitored test, designed to create anxiety.

    The scientists measured psychological parameters, such as feelings of tension, and physiological ones, such as heart rate, before, during and after the test.

    They found that those people who had inhaled the lemongrass aroma had reduced anxiety and tension levels before the test, compared to the control groups, and whilst their levels of anxiety increased during the test they fell quicker than control groups after the test had finished.

    So as winter closes in and, for many, stress levels begin to rise why not indulge in a calming cuppa of lemongrass tea?
