What is Dr. Valnet Organic Lemon Essential Oil?

Citrus limon

(Rutaceae family)

Some notions of botany

The origin of this small tree remained uncertain for a long time, particularly due to its inter-varietal diversity. However, according to phylogenetic studies carried out in the 2000s, it would have originated in the Mediterranean basin. The lemon tree is the fruit of a natural hybridization between the citron (Citrus medica) and the lime (Citrus limetta) and the grapefruit (Citrus paradisi). Its leaves are evergreen, oval and lanceolate, its flowers have slightly purplish white petals and its axillaries are gathered in small groups.

A little history…

For centuries, the lemon tree served only decorative purposes. The first iconographies depicting lemons date back to the Roman era, and traces of them can be found in Pompeii.

In his Bucolics, Virgil praised its ability to "sweeten the stinking breath of the Medes" and "soothe the pulse of trembling old men."

Around the year 1000, lemon juice was recommended by Avicenna, a famous Persian physician and philosopher, to combat digestive disorders.

Two hundred years before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic, lemons were already being taken on board ships by Arab sailors to combat scurvy.
