Summary

This study tested whether inhaling lemongrass (as a vapor or from an inhaler) could reduce nicotine dependence and improve health markers in 200 adult smokers aged 18–30. Participants used lemongrass products or nothing (control) and provided blood samples and questionnaires. The goal was to see if this natural approach could lower cravings, cotinine levels, and stress while improving sleep and fitness.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) inhaler and liquid vapor
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural, non-drug aid to help smokers cut down or quit, while also improving sleep and stress.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with no phase designation, so results may not be conclusive or generalizable. The effect may be weak or no better than a placebo.
