Description

Lemon (Citrus Limonum), is a small thorny evergreen tree with highly fragrant white flowers and yellow citrus fruit. Its name is derived from the Persian word, limun, and is believed to have originated in northwestern India. In the 1890s, physicians discovered that drinking the juice of citrus fruits could cure scurvy, a disease caused due to deficiency of Vitamin C.

Lemon essential oil is a very popular essential oil due to its multifarious uses. Around the house, it can be used as a natural cleansing agent or diffused to help relieve stress, fatigue, anxiety, and nervous tension. Lemon oil is also effective in promoting sleep.
