_Lemon (Citrus medica limonum) Peel Essential Oil

Picture
Victorian Language of Flowers meaning:  zest, fidelity in love, discretion

“We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons.” 
- Alfred E. Neuman, MAD Magazine 

Many lemon oils are derived from lemon peels soaked in alcohol.  The lemon essential oil in Aurum natural products is cold-pressed from lemons grown in the USA, creating a clean, bright fragrance true to the scent of freshly sliced lemons.  History:  Lemon has long been associated with clarifying the mind and increasing concentration.  In Japan, lemon fragrance is used in banks and other commercial buildings to reduce worker error.

Lemon was one of the seven polyvalents, a group of plants believed by ancient Greeks to be cure-alls.

Health Benefits:  Lemon, like lime, strengthens fingernails and is used in nail soaks and manicure preparations.  When used on the face, lemon acts as an astringent to tone the skin.  It possesses natural antiseptic and cleansing properties.  Its juice is also a natural hair lightener.
