Abstract

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) are herbs that have been used to flavour food and beverages, in addition, they are also believed to possess health benefits. One of them is their ability to control blood glucose levels. Blood glucose control not only is beneficial for those who already have blood glucose regulating problems, but it may also be beneficial for the prevention of blood glucose-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this research is to determine lemongrass and ginger potency for blood glucose control as well as the various populations that will benefit from blood glucose control. This research was conducted using literature reviews of various journals. From this study, it was found that lemongrass and ginger have a good potency in blood glucose control and are able to benefit people who are interested in diabetes prevention, those who are at high risk to developing diabetes, PCOS patients, people with skin concerns, and people with poor mood and/or energy levels.
