Properties of Lemon Essential Oil Lemon essential oil is highly concentrated in limonene, beta-pinene, and gamma-terpinene. These different molecules give it the following main properties: Anti-nausea, digestive ++++ (limonene): Lemon essential oil helps reduce nausea or motion sickness thanks to limonene, which acts on gastric motility. In synergy with the other components of the essential oil, limonene would also have a protective action at the gastric level by stimulating the production of mucus. A study was also carried out on nausea and vomiting in a panel of 100 pregnant women. It has been shown that inhaling lemon essential oil on pregnant women effectively reduced the nausea felt. Antioxidant, hepatoprotective ++++ (limonene): It is the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of limonene that give Lemon essential oil a protective action on liver cells. This molecule stimulates the liver's antioxidant enzymes (GSH) and regulates the expression of interleukins and proteins involved in the transmission of the inflammatory response. Its role is to trap free radicals. It is also regularly used in addition to hepatotoxic essential oils to protect the liver when used orally. liver detoxifier ++++ (limonene): Lemon essential oil acts on the phase 2 detoxifying enzymes of the liver thanks to limonene which stimulates the synthesis of glutathione-S-transferase (protective enzyme which acts against the alteration of DNA and proteins by toxic molecules). Limonene would thus help to make these toxic molecules more water-soluble so that they are more easily eliminated. antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-infectious +++ (β-pinene, limonene, citral, γ-terpinene): Lemon essential oil exerts an anti-infectious and antibacterial action through its activity on Gram- and Gram-positive germs (Helicobacter pylori, streptococci in particular). It is antiviral in synergy with other essential oils having this action. Furthermore, Lemon essence is often used in diffusion as an air freshener or in the composition of mouthwashes and toothpastes for oral care. Hypolipidemic ++ (limonene, γ-terpinene): A study demonstrated that repeated administration of limonene would induce changes in the liver by improving its function. Lemon essential oil contains compounds that may help lower total blood cholesterol and reduce hepatic accumulation of lipid droplets through a presumed action on genes encoding proteins responsible for regulating lipid metabolism. cholagogue, choleretic ++ (limonene): Lemon essential oil is regularly cited as having an action promoting the production of bile by the liver and its evacuation towards the intestine (cholagogue action). It is also traditionally used for its properties, which are said to be conferred on it by limonene, which is useful in cases of hangovers or biliary insufficiency. However, there are currently no scientific studies that prove this effect on biliary function. antifungal ++ (citral): Lemon essential oil has shown, according to a study, an antifungal action against Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton mentugrophytes. Nerve stimulant, mental tonic ++ (limonene): Lemon essential oil has been studied in studies on potential antidepressant effects. Thus, it has been shown to have anxiolytic and antidepressant effects. Administration of limonene to rodents has led to a reduction in stress. Additionally, it has been proven that inhaling Lemon allows for better dopamine secretion in mice by modulating serotonin secretions.For Detox Effectiveness: ++++
