HISTORY

Lemon trees are native to Asia and were used not only by Indians but also Egyptians and Romans to treat many diseases. Lemon trees are believed to have been brought to Europe around 200 A.D. 

Due to their antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties, English sailors in the Royal Navy would use lemons while sailing to protect themselves against scurvy and vitamin deficiencies.

The fruit and the essential oil both have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to treat a large range of health issues.

Lemon is a fantastic multipurpose oil to have in any home. Today it is commonly used in the perfume industry, also to improve mood and concentration and in culinary practices.
