Lemon Essential Oil – Citrus limonum

March 12, 2011 By Dr Malte Hozzel

Lemon Essential Oil – Citrus limonum

A powerful aromatic purifier, lemon essential oil is specifically efficient for body liquids like lymph and blood, and has been used throughout ages as an antidote against poisoning and accumulation of toxins. With its slightly sour and fruity fragrance, the oil reminds us of mediterranean orchards under a blue sky and a soft wind from the ocean.

Lemon oil purifies the blood and has highly anti-bacterial properties. It is effective in cases of high blood pressure and rheumatism, but also helps against problems of cellulitis, herpes, varicose veins and greasy skin. Also problems of the respiratory tract like asthma, throat infections, bronchitis, catarrh, cold and flu are connected to therapies with lemon oil.

It revitalizes sleepy, dull atmospheres and is an excellent antiseptic and aerial purifier. With its fresh tonic and yet soothing energy, it is particularly indicated to treat insomnia, nightmares and nervous excitation. Its luminous, volatile, etheric character mobilizes our energies, relaxes and sharpens the mind, and opens the heart. A cooler of hot emotions, a dispeller of gloomy feelings, an anti-microbial agent of luminous power: a breeze of sun rays against the frozen armour of stress.
