Lemon is highly prized for its high anti-bacterial properties. Aromatherapists
have used lemon as a confidence builder, antiseptic and antidepressant.
Studies have shown the oil increases the activity of the immune system by
stimulating the production the white corpuscles that fight infection. In Japan,
the essential oil is diffused through the air systems of offices and factories
because it increases concentration and the ability to memorize and
noticeably reduce mistakes. This oil can be photosensitizing to very
sensitive people, meaning it can amplify the effect of sun exposure, so take
care in skin applications before sun exposure.
