Uses: Lemon verbena has a wide variety of uses, especially in culinary practices. Its leaves are used as a replacement for lemongrass in numerous South East Asian recipes. It can also be added to any dish that needs lemon flavor, such as in chicken stuffing or salads. Tea becomes more flavorful when lemon verbena leaves are added. The leaves of the plant, when sliced, give a lemony flavor to drinks, confectionery, fruit puddings, cakes, and even to homemade ice cream.
Lemon verbena oil is commonly used in perfumes and cosmetics for an additional citrusy scent, especially in Europe. The essential oil is great when applying to ink and paper for added lemony fragrance. The dried leaves also add pleasant aroma to potpourri or air freshener and in herbal bags.
PRECAUTIONS
The plant’s leaves, if used in high doses, can cause stomach irritations, so I recommend being careful when ingesting the oil as well. As a safety precaution, I recommend to always conduct a skin patch test before using lemon verbena oil.
