Lemon oil: aromatherapy, health benefits and uses of lemon essential oil

ntroduction

Lemon essential oil, derived from the genus Citrus, provides an array of health and aromatherapy benefits.

The English name comes from the lemon's Latin name, citrus limon (linnaeus), lemon oil is derived from the fruit of the tall lemon trees.

Historians have found that the earliest traces of lemon were found in China, India, Italy, the Mediterranean, and regions of Arabia.

Historians tend to agree that the lemon was introduced to Europe during the Crusades, eventually gaining common popularity by the 16th century.

Experts believe that the lemon was not introduced to the Americas until 1493, when the lemon seeds were brought to the "new world" with Columbus.

With the subsequent Spanish conquest, lemon seeds were gradually planted and spread across the new lands.

Historical Use of Lemon Essential Oil

The use of lemon and its precious oil has been noted throughout history, as even famous authors and poets from the past have written of lemon's enticing aromas and benefits.

Noted by the renowned Maude Grieve in her 1931 book on herbal medicine, Grieve reported that the lemon is the most powerful fruit that can be used to preserve health.

Historically, lemon essential oil was used to treat various health concerns, and in fact, the oil was even used as an antidote for some poisons. With its antiseptic properties, lemon oil was commonly used as cleansing and healing agent.

Perhaps most famously, James Lind, starting in 1747, performed experiments using lemon oil while studying seamen who suffered from scurvy.

Through these investigations, Lind discovered that by adding lemon juice to sailor's diets, seamen were more able to fight off scurvy, as lemon provides bodies with a strong dose of vitamin C.

Throughout various cultures and regions of the world, lemon was used as a treatment for some illnesses, as an aromatic fragrance, and as a general food / beverage flavor additive

While lemon oil is known to have powerful antiseptic properties, the lemon is also able to stimulate a variety of health and wellness benefits.

Most popularly, lemon essential oil is used for its many aromatherapy benefits, as the fragrance has an uplifting effect.

Many aromatherapy experts use lemon oil to promote wellbeing enhancements, such as:

Decreased psychological distractions and fatigue
*

Reduced stress / anxiety / nervousness / tension

Lemon Essential Oil Benefits Immune Systems

In addition to emotional and mental benefits, lemon essential oil is also used to boost the body's immune system response.

As lemon oil contains an array of vitamins, an intake of lemon oil (only as directed) can help improve the body's immune system, enabling the body to ward off illnesses and infections.

Adding to the health benefits, many people use lemon oil to reduce fever, as well as to treat stomach disorders, such as indigestion and upset stomach.
