Serai, or lemongrass is a plant that is used widely throughout Southeast Asian cooking. Yet, some might not like having it in their garden for its long leaves give off a messy appearance. Little is known about the lemongrass’ health properties, but it is rich in essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, folate, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, copper, zinc, manganese and iron.
Mint, a herb that can be grown in pots, has also been used as a natural medicine to aid with indigestion. Paired along with lemongrass, this duo is a refreshing and soothing cup of tea, best consumed after meals or before bedtime.
