Lemon Essential Oil, (Citrus Limonum) has amazing health benefits. Native to Asia, the lemon tree is a small evergreen whose origins have been traced back to a cross between citron and bitter orange. Lemon increases our mood and concentration but can also be used to help with fever, infections, asthma, obesity, skin disorders, anti-bacterial, de-greasing, deodorizing, and as a disinfecting household cleanser.

Lemons are antioxidant powerhouses, containing twice as much Vitamin C as the average orange.  Cold-pressed from the peel, lemon oil  is a popular choice due to its citrusy, uplifting scent that just makes things smell clean.
