Studies published in Healthline, Medical News Today and WebMD show that lemongrass (lemongrass) contains many plant compounds such as citral, geraniol and limonene with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties - two important factors that help the liver perform its daily detoxification function well.
Support the natural detoxification of the liver
According to Healthline, citral in lemongrass helps stimulate liver enzymes, thereby enhancing the ability to break down toxins and metabolize fat. This is especially helpful for people with a high-fat diet.
Reduce inflammation, protect liver cells
Medical News Today cited analysis showing that lemongrass essential oil has strong anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce liver cell damage caused by free radicals and oxidative factors.
Light urination - supports detoxification through urine
WebMD says lemongrass has a natural diuretic effect, helping the body eliminate excess sodium and waste, reducing the burden on the liver during the treatment of toxins.
Reduce liver fat and support digestion
Some international studies have shown that drinking lemongrass tea in moderation can help improve digestion and reduce fat accumulation around the liver - a factor directly related to fatty liver.
Safe and easy to use:
Users can boil lemongrass water, combine ginger or lemongrass leaves to drink 2-3 times/week. However, experts warn against overusing, not using too much and not replacing treatment drugs.
