Lemon Oil

Scientists are conducting experiments with essential oils to test aromas and their effects upon people. Airlines, hospitals, schools, and businesses are all interested in the possibilities of increasing the efficiency of workers, improving the mental abilities of students, and calming patients.

In Japan, Takasago, a fragrance manufacturer documented its research. "They found that people operating computers and word processors made 54 percent fewer keying errors when the air was diffused with lemon, 33 percent fewer with jasmine, and 20 percent with lavender." (From the Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy by Valerie Ann Worwood.)

Another beneficial property of Lemon oil is its abilitity to purify water. An excellent antiseptic and disinfectant, it can be used in the kitchen to ensure cleanliness. Homemakers add it to dishwater and rinse water for cutting boards and counters. With its refreshing scent, Lemon oil enhances our modern lifestyle.
