The name lemon is derived from the Arabic word "laimun" or the Persian word "limun" meaning "citrus fruits".

Both the lemon fruit and its essential oil have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of health problems. Lemon trees are native to Asia and were used not only by the ancient Indians, but also by the Egyptians and Romans to treat infectious diseases. It is believed that lemon trees were brought to Europe in the Middle Ages around 200 AD, then migrated from the Middle East to North Africa, and were eventually introduced to the Americas by Christopher Columbus. Because of its antiseptic and antibacterial properties, British sailors in the Royal Navy often used lemons to protect against diseases caused by vitamin deficiencies.

Lemon peel essential oil is obtained by cold pressing the lemon peel. Thanks to the active ingredients it contains, it offers many benefits.
