Lemon essential oil is
extracted from the Citrus
Limon, of the Rutaceae
family. It is an evergreen tree
that grows up to six metres
high, with oval leaves and
thorns. It has white fragrant
flowers followed by green
fruit, turning yellow on
ripening. Native to Asia ,
grows wild in the
Mediterranean.
Lemon oil has a sharp,
fresh smell, is pale greenish-
yellow in color and is watery
in viscosity. The clean
smelling citrus essential oil is
not only good for helping
you make decisions and to
improve your concentration,
but cuts down on acidity in
the body - thereby assisting
the digestion, as well as with
rheumatism, arthritis and
gout, while also sorting out
cellulite, abscesses, boils,
carbuncles and acne.
A native of India, this
evergreen tree grows up to
about 6 meters (20 feet) and
has dark green serrated oval
leaves with pink/white flowers
that are highly perfumed.
The trees have thorns and
fruit that turn from green to
yellow on ripening.
The name
"lemon" is derived
from the Arabic 'laimun' or
the Persian 'limun'. The tree
was brought to Europe by the
Crusaders in the Middle Ages
and the fruit has a good
content of vitamins A, B and
C - an ounce a day was given
to sailors in the Royal Navy
to alleviate scurvy and other
vitamin deficiencies
Lemon oil is extracted
from the fresh fruit peel by
cold expression. Used
extensively as a fragrance in
toiletries and drinks.
