{"product_id":"lemongrass-essential-oil","title":"Kochi Lemongrass Essential Oil","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnown in our regional hills by the name \u003cstrong\u003eകൊച്ചി പുൽത്തൈലം\u003c\/strong\u003e (Kochi Pulthailam), lemongrass has grown wild across these landscapes for as long as memory can recall. It is native to the high-altitude mountain ranges of the Western Ghats, nearly 2,000 meters above sea level. Here, intense monsoon rains and nutrient-rich soil give the lemongrass a distinct, potent character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur forefathers used to say that their ancestors — \u003cstrong\u003eപൂർവികർ\u003c\/strong\u003e (Poorvikar) — first steeped these wild leaves in hot water as a refreshing drink. With time, as the grass found its way into their \u003cstrong\u003eകുടിൽ\u003c\/strong\u003e (mud homes), the leaves were boiled and added to bath water on special occasions. During the heavy monsoon rains, the crushed paste of the grass was mixed into the cow-dung floors of their \u003cstrong\u003eകുടിൽ\u003c\/strong\u003e (mud homes) to keep insects away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was during these daily rituals with the boiling cauldrons that they noticed something unusual: when the simmering lemongrass water met the cold mountain air, a thin oily layer would rise gently to the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriven by that innate curiosity, their ancestors — \u003cstrong\u003eപൂർവികർ\u003c\/strong\u003e — hand-forged a primitive iron distillation still, working entirely from intuition, without a single blueprint. That very craft, slowly perfected through generations of trial and error, remains at the heart of how our lemongrass oil is traditionally distilled today. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tribal Sangha","offers":[{"title":"10 ML","offer_id":48271099363498,"sku":null,"price":349.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ML","offer_id":48271099396266,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1691\/8954\/files\/lebottle.png?v=1777415270","url":"https:\/\/tribalsangha.in\/products\/lemongrass-essential-oil","provider":"Tribal Sangha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
