Ancient Wisdom Lemon Dilute Essential Oil - 10ml Bottle

Lemon essential oil has a sharp, fresh smell and is extracted from the fresh lemon fruit peel by cold expression. Lemon essential oil is used to refresh the mind and sharpen concentration, so it is often preferred in room fresheners for offices and banks. It is believed to help with rheumatism, arthritis, and gout.

When used in an oil burner (a few drops in water), the vapours of lemon oil can be used for colds, laryngitis, headaches, and flu. Inhaling the aroma is said to be helpful for mental hiccups like depression, irritation, stress, lethargy, and fatigue. If a few drops are added to the bath or blended into a massage oil, it is said to relieve a lack of energy and tiredness. It can also help get rid of hangovers.
