Scientific Summary
Malabar grass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is a perennial herbaceous plant whose leaves, flowers and bark are harvested for use. The plant is employed mainly for its antimicrobial, antimalarial, anti‑inflammatory and insect‑repellent properties, and is traditionally used to relieve digestive issues, support respiratory health and aid in wound healing.
