Lemongrass, Ginger and Lime Tea for My Health

I had a hair appointment today with my loctitian who is from Ghana, Africa. When she asked me how I was, I let her know that I had been sick. I explained my symptoms to her and she suggested that I try some lemongrass, ginger and pineapple husk tea that her mother gave her when she was growning up in Africa.

When her telephone rang as she was working on my hair, I goggled the mixture that she suggested. I was surprised to find out the health benefits of lemongrass as well as the pineapple husk. She had a huge lemongrass bush growing in her back yard that I passed on a regular basis and did not recognize. She cut some for me before I left and I came home to make me some of the tea minus the pineapple because I don't have any. She told me that next spring, she would dig up some of the plant with the root for me to plant. She says that it is a perennial plant. I did substiture a lime since it will add vitamin C.

Lemongrass is thought to have anti-oxidant properties, prevent the growth of some yeast and bacteria, relieve pain and swelling, and reduce fever among other things. I am going to have a cup right now and I hope that it helps me to feel better soon.

I am on the mend but I am ready to be back to 100%.

Have a great evening.
