Background
Citrus limon or lemon is a plant from Rutaceae family. It bears highly aromatic white or pink flowers and tiny fruits that are used in almost every corner of the world for its juice and many culinary purposes. The lemon tree can measure up to 6 metres in height, prefers warm temperate regions, and grows in acidic soil. It is native to South-East Asia region, mainly the Indian subcontinent.
General Information
Ecodrop’s Organic Lemon essential oil is extracted from the peel of lemon fruit, grown organically in Italy and certified under strict Soil Association Organic Standards. To obtain the best quality oil, near to ripe (green) lemons are picked from the tree and stored, maintaining a PH value of 2.2 until they become yellow. This process increases the concentration of oil in the peel glands. The fruits are then peeled and sent for cold-pressing, which yields a thin yellowish-green liquid, which is filtered for use.

Best Essential Oil from the best company! – I recently ordered the Ecodrop Frida Floral Pure Essential Oil and I am so happy to say I am absolutely in love with it. It contains a blend of 5 Oils for The Mind, Body, Skin – which includes Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Palmarosa, Mandarin, Lemon, the smell of it is absolutely amazing and the smell fills the whole room. When I use it it makes me feel very relaxed and calm.
I will be ordering this again and will be happy to try out some other Ecodrop products.
I also love how 100% of the profits go to selected females who are struggling financially to turn their dreams into reality. That really is amazing, thank you ECODROP! xx

Customer –
highly recommend – I had been treating my fungal nail infection with a treatment which was unfortunately discontinued. I checked the ingredients and decided to recreate the recipe myself. I required high grade essential oils of both lavender and lemon. I found the ecodrop oils to be of top quality and worked perfectly to make an identical product. I used 30ml grapeseed oil, 20 drops lavender oil and 10 drops lemon oil.
I highly recommend ecodrop essential oils and I will definitely be trying some of the suggestions contained in the ebook..

A really lovely lemon oil – I use it in an loo burner to freshen rooms and also in an immunity blend that I use when I go to work in school. Part of a larger immunity protocol I use.

Wonderful scent! – The scent of this oil is wonderful! It’s like being in a lemon grove. I usually think aromatherapy oils smell a bit strange, but not this one. I bought it initially to add to a spider deterrent potion I made, which didn’t smell very nice without the lemon, but now I’m using it in a diffuser to make the house smell of lemon groves. I’ll definitely buy this again. It’s the best!!!

Beautiful oils and excellent quality – Beautiful oils and excellent quality. I’ve bought a few different ones now alongside the Geranium which are Rose, Lemon, Clove, Ginger, and Grapefruit. I use them in my diffuser mostly. The botanicals to relax but the clove and ginger are always at the ready for a bit of ‘bug’ killing if I feel a bit under the weather. I’m very happy with everything and am looking forward to getting more!
