Of The Month

Lemon |
Lemon oil is expressed from the rind and peel of the bright yellow fruit
of the Mediterranean citrus limonium tree. Lemon's citrusy-sharp, refreshing scent
is a familiar one in household cleaners and room sprays. It also lends it's aroma -
and astringency - to after-shaves, soaps, shower gels, facial tonics and lotions.
Perfumists often enlist lemon's classic, strong top note in colognes and perfumes.
In aromatherapy, lemon is valued for it's ability to clarify, refresh and stimulate.
It's thought to lift the spirits, clear the mind and improve concentration.
Try this cheerful oil in diffusers, room sprays, bath and massage blends. Lemon is
strong so it should be well diluted - one drop per teaspoon of carrier oil is usually
plenty. And keep in mind that lemon oil can sause skin irritation in some people,
especially if worn in the sun. |
