Title: Lemon Essential Oil

Introduction: Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants. The

oils capture the plant's scent and flavor, or “essence.” Unique aromatic
compounds give each essential oil its characteristic essence. Essential oils are
obtained through distillation via steam and water or mechanical methods,
such as cold pressing. Such oils were called essential because they were
thought to represent the very essence of odor and flavor.
Lemon essential oil is a completely natural ingredient that also serves as a
home health remedy. It’s extracted from the peel of fresh lemons through
steam extraction, or less often, through a “cold-pressing” process that pricks and rotates the peel as oil
is released.

Lemon essential oil can be diluted and applied topically to your skin, as well as diffused into the air and
inhaled. 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.

In recent years, the medical literature has started to catch up with the claims made by people who have
used lemon essential oil for years. Read on to learn more about the benefits of lemon essential oil,

Conclusion:

The aspect of essential oil is the best alternatives in all fruits or called DIY. The process of this
made me realized that all the fruits that have a components are useful in humans.
I concluded that the mixing of the peel of the lemon and the carrier oil can make an essential
just by waiting for a days to develop its components and also the temperature and the proper
waste of the container is the biggest impact to make a good essential oil like the lemon and
other fruits
This made me realized also that not all the peeled fruits are not waste and not being a garbage
that throw it around like that and this helps in our community to make an oil to use.
Based from the interview and the feedback about the said essential oil, the most said words are
it is have a good flagrance and good smell of the lemon and its scented quite well.
