Lemon Essential Oil Information & Uses
Lemon has a strong, purifying, citrus scent that is revitalizing and uplifting. Lemon consists of 68 percent dlimonene, a powerful antioxidant. It is delightfully refreshing in water and may be beneficial for the skin. Lemon may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rinds of lemons. Jean Valnet MD estimated that it takes 3,000 lemons to produce one kilo of oil. In his book, The Practice of Aromatherapy, Valnet wrote that lemon is a tonic for supporting the nervous and sympathetic nervous system.

ReplyDeleteAmmy, thank you for checking out my post on Lemon EO! When talking about Essential Oils, the best way to preserve them is to keep them away from heat, and light. When exposed to either, they will destroy the benefits of the oil. This is the same for all oils. Hope this was helpful, and have a great day!
