History of the Lemon Tree

Native to India and cultivated in the South of Europe and in California, the Lemon tree is one of the most useful plants in natural medicine thanks to its multiple properties. Lemon trees flower 6 times a year and the harvests follow the same rhythm, which is exceptional for a citrus fruit. Like all citrus fruits, the aromatic extract taken from the zest of lemons is called 'essence' and not essential oil, because it is obtained by mechanical pressing, and not by steam distillation.
