Today, I want to share with you some information on Lemon Essential Oil. It’s one of the most popular oils because it has so many uses and I’ll be sharing those in just a bit. In the meantime though, let’s learn how this oil originated.
The lemon tree is a small evergreen tree, that grows up to around 18 foot tall and has serrated, oval leaves, stiff thorns and white fragrant flowers. It produces an oval shaped fruit which is initially green and later turns to yellow when it’s ripe. The fruit is very aromatic and has a pale yellow rind. It’s very juicy and very tart with an acidic pulp. Depending on the variety, the peel is either smooth or rough. The peel is where the oil comes from.

The methods above are just a small sampling of what you can do with lemon essential oil. In addition to using alone, it can be blended with other oils.
