Many people use lemon exclusively as a seasoning for fish, and sometimes add a slice or two to a cup of tea.
In fact, this fruit has many more uses. One of them is to combat stress and insomnia.
For those who would like to try to improve their mood and quality of sleep with the help of lemon, it is worth using this citrus as a means of aromatherapy.
To do this, you will need a fresh lemon and a saucepan of water.
Bring the water to a boil and squeeze the lemon juice in. The rest of the fruit should also be placed in the pan.
After this, leave the container with the aromatic mixture close to you and simply inhale the fresh citrus scent.
Studies have shown that the smell of lemon helps reduce stress, anxiety and calms the mind. Thus, the fruit is an excellent alternative to sedatives and sleeping pills.
However, despite the evidence that lemon scent has a calming effect, always consult your doctor for health advice.
