Lemon (Citron)
Description
Lemon essential oil is expressed from the peel of the ripe fruit. Lemon has clean, fresh, sharp top notes with slightly sweet, citrusy undertones. Lemon essential oil has multipurpose applications. Lemon is excellent in a wash for cuts and graze. It also poses detoxifying characteristics and is good in lymphatic drainage massage. Lemon is also useful in skin care to brighten the complexion.
Lemon essential oil has high contents of limonene—a key constituent in citrus oils, giving it strong cleansing properties when used topically. Use Lemon oil to clean commonly used surfaces or as an oral rinse for a brightening effect on teeth. When fresh lemons are not available, lemon oil can add the same bright, citrus flavour to water or your favourite recipes.
