Lemongrass can be used in diverse ways in different presentations, such as tea and essential oil. To limit the risk of side effects one cup a day is enough for those who are not in the habit of drinking tea. About essential oil, the appropriate dose depends on several factors such as user's age, health, and other condition.

Lemongrass can be used safely in fairly large amounts as an herbal tea or fresh in recipes and provide individuals with its health benefits. 2 to 4 spoons of fresh lemongrass can be added in recipes and 1 to 2 lemongrass herbal teas can be ingested on a daily basis.
