10 ml essential lemon oil

Essential Lemon Oil has a sharp, fresh scent and is obtained by cold pressing the peel of fresh lemons. It has a refreshing and concentration-enhancing effect and is therefore often used in air fresheners for offices and banks. It is said to help with rheumatism, arthritis, and gout. It is used to treat skin problems such as abscesses, boils, carbuncles, and acne. It strengthens the immune system and cleanses the body.

In a fragrance lamp (a few drops in water), the vapors of lemon oil are used for colds, laryngitis, headaches, and flu. Smelling the aroma helps with psychological problems such as depression, irritability, stress, lack of drive, and fatigue. It lifts the mood and clears the mind. A few drops mixed into bath water or massage oil are said to relieve digestive problems, lack of energy, fatigue, infections, overweight, rheumatism, depression, and stress. It is also used to alleviate hangovers.

The lemon originally comes from India and possibly also from China and was brought to Europe in the Middle Ages by the Crusaders. Since the fruits are rich in vitamins A, B, and C, sailors were given an ounce of lemon daily to prevent scurvy, eye problems, and other vitamin deficiency conditions. The first real lemon cultivation in Europe began in the mid-15th century in Genoa. Later, it was brought to America by Christopher Columbus. Spanish conquests contributed to the further spread of lemon seeds. Lemon was mainly used as an ornament and medicine. Only much later did it begin to be used in cooking.
