Essential oils are concentrated liquids that are extracted from plants that have potential benefits. The oil that gets extracted captures the scent and flavour of the plant, and in its concentrated form can be used for healing, aromatherapy, and fragrance purposes.
When applied to the skin, some chemicals from the plant extract can be absorbed, and certain methods of application might improve absorption such as applying it with heat, or on certain areas of the body.
Inhaling the fumes of essential oils is another method of using essential oils, and can stimulate the certain parts of your brain that have to do with emotions and behaviour. For example, if you are feeling anxious or stressed, inhaling the Lavender aroma may cause a feeling of calmness washing over you.

Lemon essential oil is a completely natural ingredient that also serves as a home health remedy.

Some people swear by lemon essential oil as an ingredient that fights exhaustion, helps with depression, clears your skin, kills harmful viruses and bacteria, and reduces inflammation.
