Property

Lemon essential oil, non-toxic, is known in aromatherapy for its refreshing and antidepressant properties. It is an effective remedy in the treatment of acne, eczema, insect bites, calluses, and cold sores. When applying it to the skin, avoid sunlight, as it is phototoxic. It also has antiseptic, astringent, antitoxic, bactericidal, healing, hemostatic, antipyretic, rubefacient, tonic, and anthelmintic
properties. It blends well with other citrus oils and with the essential oils of chamomile, cistus, elemi, eucalyptus, fennel, geranium, juniper, frankincense, lavender, lemon balm, neroli, rose, sandalwood, ylang ylang, and benzoin absolute.

Uses

Lemon essential oil is widely used in pharmacies, perfumeries, soap-making, and detergents as a flavoring agent. A very long list of uses is also found in the food and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage industries.
The relevant technical and safety documentation for the product is available upon request.

Botany

Native to eastern India, the lemon tree grows wild throughout the Mediterranean basin and in Portugal. It is widely cultivated worldwide, particularly in Sicily, Cyprus, Guinea, and Israel.
It is a small evergreen tree up to six meters tall, with serrated, smooth oval leaves, strong thorns, and fragrant white flowers.
The fruit, initially green, turns yellow as it ripens. In many Mediterranean regions, the lemon is still considered a true panacea.
