Ten micro litres of each lemon grass essential oil treated, lemon grass essential oil vapour treated and untreated Candida cells suspension was mounted on a glass substrate.
The height of untreated, lemon grass essential oil treated and lemon grass essential oil vapour treated cells was found to be 350 nm, 150 nm and 37.5 nm, respectively.
The three dimensional structure of the C. albicans cells also shows significant differences in the Z axis value which was 700 nm/div, 500 nm/div and 100 nm/div in untreated, lemon grass essential oil treated and lemon grass essential oil vapour treated samples, respectively.
While it looks excruciating, a trance-like state stops participants from feeling pain; later the wounds are treated with lemon juice and holy ash to prevent scarring.

A more extensive damage is observed in C. albicans cells treated with lemon grass essential oil vapour which appear ruptured and partially degraded.
In the present study, majority of the C. albicans cells treated with lemon grass essential oil at MIC level in broth show prominent shrinkage in the SEM.
SEM/AFM of C. albicans cells treated with lemon grass essential oil at MIC level in liquid and vapour phase showed prominent shrinkage and partial degradation, respectively, confirming higher efficacy of vapour phase.
