Lemon essential oil is believed to have several uses, for instance, anti-depressant, antiseptic, digestive, germicide, bactericide, carminative, diuretic, hepatic, depurative, anti-rheumatic, stimulant, and tonic. 

 
   Uses of lemon essential oil 

Lemon essential oil has many uses. Generally it is used in conjunction with other oils to create more powerful mixes. It is used for oily skin, freckles, and weak nails, to balance the nervous system, eliminate toxins, to treat dandruff, to reduce cellulite, etc. 

In aromatherapy, it is believed that it helps to uplift and energize. So it is a good oil to use in the morning or when we are feeling down. Its uplifting effect also helps people suffering from mild depression and sadness.

It can also be use in soaps, exfoliants, body lotions, oil burners, and compresses, among others.


   Characteristics

In aromatherapy it is considered a high note, meaning if it is mixed with other oils the first thing you will smell is the lemon. It combines well with lavender, pine, eucalyptus, fennel and juniper. 

   From Latin America to the USA

In Central America and Mexico, key limes and limes are used instead of lemons. The characteristics are very similar and they can be used interchangeably, but the aroma, flavor and some properties may be slightly different. So if you read recipes from Mexico or Latin America that use lemons they may as well be referring to limes.
