This review explores its therapeutic potential, highlighting its antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective activites. The bioactive compounds in lemongrass including citral, geraniol, limonene, and myrcene, contribute to its medicinal efficacy. Additionally, studies indicate its potential in managing pain, reducing anxiety, and improving gastrointestinal health. Despite extensive preclinical research supporting its therapeutic applications, further clinical trials are necessary to validate its efficacy and establish standardized dosages.
