Lemon essential oil has a strong, fresh smell and is extracted from the peel of fresh lemon fruit by cold expression. This oil is refreshing to the mind and sharpens concentration, which is why it is often preferred in air fresheners for offices and banks. It is believed to help with rheumatism, arthritis, and gout. It has been used to cure skin problems such as abscesses, boils, carbuncles, and acne. It boosts the immune system and cleanses the body.
When used in an oil burner (a few drops in water), the vapors in lemon oil are used for colds, laryngitis, headache, and flu. Smelling the scent is helpful for mental hiccups such as depression, irritation, stress, lethargy, and fatigue. It lifts spirits and clears minds. When a few drops are added to the bath or when mixed with a massage oil, it is said to relieve digestive problems, lack of energy, tiredness, infections, obesity, rheumatism, depression, and stress. It is also used to help get rid of hangovers.
The lemon plant is native to India and perhaps China, and was brought to Europe by the Crusaders in the Middle Ages. Since the fruit has a good amount of vitamins A, B, and C, sailors were given an ounce a day to prevent scurvy, eye problems, and other vitamin deficiencies. The first real cultivation of lemon in Europe began in Genoa in the mid-15th century. It was later introduced to America by Christopher Columbus. The Spanish conquests helped to spread lemon seeds further. Lemon was mainly used as an ornament and as medicine. It was only much later that it began to be used in cooking.
