(Before It's News)

Lemon oil is one of the most versatile essential oils, besides being safe for use in infants and during pregnancy and lactation.

Lemon oil is cold pressed from the rind of lemons, and a pound of the oil requires about 1,500 lemons. Extraction of lemon essential oil was once a home industry in which all the family members participated. The fruit is pressed with a sponge to absorb the oil released from the skin glands. On becoming saturated with the oil, the sponges are passed through a press to extract the oil. The pale greenish yellow oil thus obtained has a sharp, citrusy smell.

Here are 10 ways lemon oil can benefit your health:

1. Works as a natural disinfectant – Lemon oil has antiseptic and antibacterial properties that make it an excellent surface cleaner in the house. Being non-toxic, it is ideal for use on kitchen counter tops and door knobs. Rub a few drops of lemon oil between the hands in place of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Spray water containing a few drops of essential oil into the air to improve indoor air quality.

We know a squeeze of lemon or lemon zest can make even the blandest food palatable.
