As with many citrus oils, lemon stimulates the body and mind and helps to revive the senses.  Lemon is a common ingredient in many spa treatments and lemons possess a variety of therapeutic and beautifying properties for the skin.  Lemon is rich in Vitamin C which gives it natural toning properties when used on the skin.

Aside from relieving mental stress, when used in massage lemon can also help reduce physical aliments such as muscle aches, tension and pain.  Lemon when applied topically to the skin helps to breakup lactic acid to overexerted muscles.  Lemon is also good for stimulating the body’s own immune system by balancing acidity levels in the body.
