Have you heard of the malojillo? There are many people who do not know about the existence of this plant and, therefore, do not know how they can take advantage of the benefits that it is able to bring to our body. The malojillo is a plant with long leaves (they can reach more than 1 meter) popularly known as lemon grass, lemon balm, lemongrass, lemongrass, lemon grass, pajete, lemon cane, holy cane, fever grass, Lemon straw, lemon grass, Paraguayan lemon verbena or lemon verbena, among other names.
The malojillo can be consumed in several ways to take advantage of all the benefits it brings, as we will see later. However, below, we want to tell you what these benefits are:
Detoxification of the body: thanks to its diuretic properties, malojillo is an herb that fights toxins in the body, thus contributing to a better functioning of the kidneys and liver, among other organs. Lemongrass removes accumulated fats in the body and helps maintain the health of the digestive system.
Helps reduce nervousness: Another benefit of lemongrass is that it is perfect for reducing nervousness and stress, as well as symptoms of seizures and vertigo. This is due to its great relaxing properties, perfect also to stimulate the mind.
Helps fight insomnia: also closely linked to its relaxing properties, since lemongrass is capable of relaxing muscles and, consequently, fighting episodes of insomnia.
Helps prevent respiratory disorders: this plant also prevents colds and coughs, since its high content of vitamin C can help you fight cold symptoms such as nasal congestion or other symptoms associated with the flu.
Perfect for fighting infections: malojillo tea is also very effective against skin infections, scabies, athlete's foot and even urinary infections. This is possible thanks to its antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
Helps Prevent Digestive System Disorders: By having antispasmodic properties, lemongrass can also help relieve menstrual cramps and stomach aches.
Repels mosquitoes and other insects: as we have anticipated, the malojillo is also often used as a mosquito repellent, since the citrus smell of the lemon of this plant is very annoying for insects.
