£2.30

Essential oils, extracted from aromatic plants, are widely used for their therapeutic properties and aromatic qualities in aromatherapy and natural wellness practices.

Lemon Essential Oil has a sharp, fresh smell and is extracted from the fresh lemon fruit peel by cold expression. The oil is refreshing to the mind, and sharpens concentration, so it is often used in room fresheners for offices and banks.

When it is used in an oil burner (a few drops of essential oil in water), the vapours of lemon oil can be beneficial for colds, laryngitis, headache, and flu.

Lemon oil extracted by cold expression is made by scraping the peel of a lemon fruit and releasing the oil into water. The oil is then separated from the water, solids, and wax using a centrifuge and polisher.
