A bright, fresh Lemon essential oil cold pressed from the rinds of ripe lemons organically grown in Italy.

Lemon Essential Oil has a refreshing scent that is thought to stimulate the liver and has a gentle, calming effect. Lemon oil is thought to promote clarity of mind and purpose, as well as generally increasing one's well-being and physical energy.

The oil is produced from the outer peel of the lemon fruit through cold pressing. Lemon oil aroma is considered one of the lightest in aromatherapy, a nice bright 'top note'.

Lemon oil's aroma is warming, enhancing and invigorating, and studies have shown it to have antidepressant effects. Lemon oil apparently has a significant effect on one's ability to concentrate: During a university study in Japan, various essential oils were diffused into an office. When Lemon Essential Oil was diffused, 54% fewer errors were made, with Jasmine Oil, 33% fewer errors, and with Lavender Oil, 20% fewer. Diffusion of essential oils was found to increase test scores by up to 50% when diffused into study and test-taking areas.

In addition to its uplifting and clarifying nature, emotionally, lemon oil is considered an opener of the heart. It is said to alleviate fears of losing oneself, bringing trust and security.

Lemon essential oil has been shown to eliminate many types of bacteria, and may be the most effective oil for disinfecting a room using a diffuser. It is often used in disinfecting blends. In many European countries, the oil is considered somewhat of a 'cure all', particularly with infectious illness. Lemon Oil also serves well as an insect repellent, alone or in blends.

Like Bergamot and grapefruit oils, the only caution noted is possible phototoxicity - it may make skin to which it is applied more sensitive to sunlight.
