A little history

Originally from India, the lemon tree grows in southern Europe, especially in Spain and Portugal. It is a small tree with evergreen oval leaves and fragrant flowers, which bears fruit all year round. Its country of origin is ancient Media, between Tigris and Caspian, which is why the lemon was called the "media apple" during the cruises. It was embarked by Arab navigators two centuries before crossing the Atlantic on the caravels of Christopher Columbus.

Resources

In my journey to learn about Essential Oils and Aromatherapy over the years, I deep dive into books and courses. I love to educate myself and below you can see some of the books I have used as resources when writing my content. I have tried a lot of different recipes and have been inspired to make some of my own as well. Some of the recipes are from the books. There are so many brilliant authors, and I feel honored to share such great wisdom and knowledge so that we all can live more in harmony with Mother Nature. So share and include this knowledge in your care for yourself and your family and friends. Love Susann
