Have you ever tried cutting up a lemon and placing it next to your bed or in the corners of a room? That you don’t see anything special in it? Then it’s time to give it a try! The benefits are really many and you will be surprised what such a lemon can do and what an atmosphere of well-being and peace it is able to create with its scent.
Releases stress
When else to get a proper rest than when sleeping undisturbed in bed. This time should be relaxing for you so that you can regenerate your body for the next day. But the reality is that we are often so stressed out from our daily responsibilities and work that our brains are working at full speed and we just can’t turn it off. If that’s the case for you, you’re constantly thinking about the events that happened during the day and failing to fall asleep. Simply try the lemon trick. Scientific research has shown that the smell of lemon calms the nervous system and turbulent emotions.
Alleviates depression
Lemon scent has antiseptic properties, which means it can affect your state of mind as well. If you often feel tense, suffer from depression and anxiety attacks, lemon scent will be the right choice for you. It creates a pleasant and positive atmosphere in the room, helping you to think about positive things instead of the negative ones that take the joy out of your life and bring restlessness and fear. Besides that, lemon also helps:
- Improve concentration
- Strengthen immunity
- Remove allergens and bacteria from the air
Acts as a natural repellent
Citron scent will reliably protect you even from painful mosquito bites. This perhaps most annoying creature likes to creep into lighted rooms at night. However, if you’re prepared, you’ll scare it off before it can bite you. The smell of a lemon slice will scare it away in no time, and not just him but a whole host of other insects. So think about this if you’ve already forgotten to turn off the lights and are now worried about an unwelcome buzzing visitor.
How to do it
The procedure is very simple. Buy a few lemons at the store and cut the top off of each one. Then, using a sharp knife, slice them vertically and horizontally. The more notches, the better. However, take care not to separate the pieces. Then place the lemon in a bowl and place it next to the bed. If you want to increase the scenting effects, add more of these lemon bowls to each corner of the room. The scent will then do the work itself.
