is an aromatic herb that grows up to 4 feet tall. It has long, narrow leaves and a woody stem. The plant is also known as citronella grass because it smells similar to the oil derived from the citronella plant. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fresh or dried leaves of the lemongrass plant are used in cooking. When fresh lemongrass is not available, it can be substituted with dried. Fresh lemongrass is also available frozen, usually chopped or sliced in bottles or bags at Asian markets. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lemongrass is most commonly brewed into tea. The drink is known for its many possible health benefits, including immune system support.

She realized just how much damage misinformation could cause, especially when it is targeted at new moms who are keen on postpartum weight loss. So for years, she has worked hard to demystify the seemingly complex concepts of health &amp; wellness. Eventually, she made one startling discovery that she wishes to share with all \u2013 there is no short cut. Consistency and hard work are the keys to a healthy mind and body. But, writing is not all she does. Being a mother to an energetic toddler means her free time is spent exploring the outdoors, arms laden with cotton candy and toys.

The articles she writes focus on providing factual information \u2013 but never at the expense of providing an entertaining read. Her interest in health &amp; wellness was sparked by her motherhood journey. She realized just how much damage misinformation could cause, especially when it is targeted at new moms who are keen on postpartum weight loss. So for years, she has worked hard to demystify the seemingly complex concepts of health &amp; wellness. Eventually, she made one startling discovery that she wishes to share with all \u2013 there is no short cut. Consistency and hard work are the keys to a healthy mind and body.
