Fever Grass, as it is known in the West Indies, is a member of the tall grass family. It is edible and is used for making a refreshing tea.
The main use of Fever Grass is its benefit of reducing a fever (temperature) by boiling its leaves and drinking it, hence its name. It is not only for that purpose as it has a wonderful aroma and taste, and can be drunk as a refreshing drink – hot or cold.
The plant grows all year round being a member of the grass family. Its aroma can be smelt when the wind blows through its long leaves. Fever Grass is well-known world-wide as it is imported as tea bags in health food shops and is called Lemongrass.
There might be other health benefits which need to be investigated.
