Brief History:

Lemon has been valued for centuries for its fresh scent and cleansing properties. The lemon tree (Citrus limon) is believed to have originated in Asia, particularly in regions of India and China, and was later introduced to the Mediterranean and Europe through trade.

By the Middle Ages, lemons were widely used for culinary, medicinal, and cleaning purposes, and their oil became popular for its refreshing fragrance and antiseptic qualities. Sailors historically used lemons to help prevent scurvy because of their vitamin C content.

Today, lemon essential oil is commonly used in aromatherapy, natural cleaning products, and skincare, valued for its uplifting citrus aroma and natural cleansing properties. 🍋🌿
