The Beneficial Qualities of Therapeutic-Grade Lemon Essential Oil

It's been long known that lemon essential oil is anti-infectious, antibacterial (especially with spores), antiseptic, antiviral. It can function as a disinfectant and has vitamin P-like action for improving microcirculation, promoting white blood cell formation and improving immune fuction. It has also been widely used in skin care to cleanse skin and reduce wrinkles. It helps brighten pale, dull complexions and remove dead skin cells. (But remember that lemon oil is photosensitizing, so avoid applying it to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight or UV light.)

Just smelling lemon oil helps clear the mind, improve memory, and boost energy level. Many people on the Master Lemon Cleanse find that adding a drop or two to their lemonade drink helps their body detox, cleanse and alkalize more efficiently.

Lemon oil is cold-pressed from the rind of lemons. Jean Valnet, MD, estimated that it takes 3,000 lemons produce one kilo of oil. In his book, "The Practice of Aromatherapy," Valnet wrote that lemon is a tonic for supporting the nervous and sympathetic nervous system.
