Limon Oil & Benefits

It goes without saying that lemons, like the other citrus fruits, are especially healthy due to their high vitamin C content. Lemon juice is widely used, whether for culinary purposes or as a remedy for colds. But did you know that at least half of lemon’s healthy benefits remain unused, sadly ending up in the waste bin? Together with the lemon peel, we usually throw out the many beneficial properties that they contain.

The amount of vitamins in the lemon peel is five to ten times higher than in lemon juice. Lemon peel contains important healing substances such as citronella, phellandrene, vitamin C, citric acid, malic acid, formic acid, hesperidin and pectin.

• very powerful in removing toxins from the body. This can help to purify the liver and provide a rejuvenating effect at the same time.
• aids digestion and prevents constipation. It counteracts abdominal bloating and reduces intestinal gas.
• promotes alkalization of the blood and may help lower high blood pressure.
• strengthens the immune system due to the presence of vitamin C and other vitamins. This will help prevent infections, colds, flu and breathing issues.
• a natural antiseptic and has astringent properties.

Lemon oil is obtained by cold pressing the outer parts of the peels. This creates a thin oil with a nearly illuminating colour of pale yellow to yellowish-green.
