About Lemon (Citrus limon)
Fun fact: In Japan, lemon essential oil is diffused throughout offices and banks
to reduce worker error.
Lemons have long been valued for more than lemonade. We know that ancient Egyptians
prized this oil for its purported ability to act as an antidote to fish and
meat poisoning. And, like lime, it was a staple on 17th century Royal Navy ships
to help prevent scurvy. Today, we know lemon can help contain and treat infectious
diseases, especially colds and fevers. Its scent also helps to increase concentration,
and neutralizes unpleasant odors. Some hospitals use lemon oil to help calm
frightened or depressed patients. It also boosts the immune system by stimulating
production of white and red blood cells. Lemon oil is a must for every aromatherapy
kit.
