Cold pressed Citrus limon has a sharp, citrusy, fresh top note with stimulating and uplifting properties.  It also has antibacterial and antiseptic properties and has some value in reducing the onset of nightmares.  Lemon is a versatile scent that blends well with most other essential oils including Lavender and Orange.  It is indicated for digestive and liver problems and to disinfect the air.  Lemon juice is a great addition to hot drinks for insomnia, colds, flu and viral infections.

When handling cold pressed lemon essential oil, or applying topically, it is known to cause phototoxic skin irritations, especially if exposed to strong sun rays.
