Home :: Aromtherapy :: Lemon Lemons: Lemon Tree - Uses & Benefits - growing lemonIt takes 3,000 lemons to produce 2 pound (1 kilo) of essential oil. It is extracted by pressing the rind of the fruit. Hand-pressed oil is of a better quality than mechanically pressed oil. Hand pressing is a family affair. The women and children cut the lemons and scrape out the flesh, the men do the pressing. Chilblains Mix into a carrier oil and gently rub the affected area, three to four times a day. Or use in a footbath, soaking the feet for fifteen minutes. Bites and stings Dab neat oil on to the bite or sting. Mouth ulcers Dab on the neat oil, or make a gargle adding five drops to a medium-size glass of water. Verrucae/warts Dab with a cotton bud soaked in neat essential oil several times a day. Catarrh/colds Mix in a carrier oil and massage the face and head, or inhale.
