Lemon essential oil is extracted from the fruit of the lemon tree. This fruit tree is native to the vast steppe zone of Central Asia, north of the Himalayas. In this dry and sunny region, the oases inhabited by tribes of semi-sedentary nomads offered in ancient times the best conditions for growing useful plants such as the lemon tree, thanks to the abundance of water that could be found there. Soon the high civilizations of neighboring countries (Indians, Chinese and Persians) also discovered the refreshing fruits of the lemon tree and acquired knowledge about its cultivation and use. Greek and Roman traders brought the lemon tree from Persia to the West. Today it can be found throughout the Mediterranean area.
The essential oil of lemon is one of the Essential Oils richest in vitamins, the Essence is obtained by pressing the outer part of the pericarp or rind of the fruit. 4,000 lemons are needed to obtain 1 Kg. of Essential Oil.

YIN
Etymologically it means “side of the mountain that provides shade”. The Yin energy is expansive, slow and centrifugal. It is the energy that is connected to coldness, water, the moon, femininity, relaxation, the inner balance, dispersion, intuition and creativity. A Yin body tends toward being thin and does not retain fat cells (adipocytes), but rather it eliminates them.
People who tend to have Yin characteristics display spiritual tendencies; they are creative, artistic, imaginative, understanding and hyper-sensitive.
Well-being is defined as a balance between Yin and Yang. An imbalance is the result of a deficit or excess of Yin energy or Yang energy. Ideally, we want to ensure that our body adapts to the changing conditions, maintaining the balance between these two opposite and complementary energies.
Therefore, Alqvimia products with a more Yang polarity or energy facet are recommended for excess Yin energy imbalances.
Pay attention to the following symbols which you will find on our packaging:
Indicates a product with a Yin charge, meaning it is appropriate for counteracting Yang imbalances.
Indicates a product with a Yang charge, meaning it is appropriate for counteracting Yin imbalances.
Indicates a product with a Yin-Yang charge, meaning it is appropriate for counteracting either Yin or Yang imbalances.
