Called fever grass across the islands, lemongrass is the bright green stalk grandmothers cut at dawn for tea.
How We Hold This Knowledge
Rooted Ritual™ honors Caribbean traditions while distinguishing cultural wisdom from medical advice. Our wellness library is designed for education, reflection, and daily ritual support. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace care from a qualified healthcare professional.
Current understanding
Brewed alone or with ginger, it is the tea of returning — to the morning, to the body, to the day that is still soft.
