香茅, known as lemongrass in English, is a tropical plant widely used in cooking and herbal medicine. It has long, slender green stalks that emit a strong citrus aroma. This plant is commonly found in Southeast Asian cuisines, where it adds flavor to dishes like soups, curries, and teas. In addition to its culinary uses, 香茅 is valued for its potential health benefits. It is often used in traditional remedies for digestive issues and as a natural insect repellent. The essential oil extracted from 香茅 is also popular in aromatherapy and skincare products for its refreshing scent and antibacterial properties.
