- Description
- Polarity
Lemon essential oil is extracted from fruit of the lemon tree. This fruit tree is native to the massive steppe area of Central Asia, north of the Himalayas. In this sunny and dry region, the oases inhabited by nomadic, semi-sedentary tribes historically offered the best growing conditions for useful plants like the lemon tree, thanks to the abundant water sources found there. The civilisations of neighbouring countries (Indians, Chinese and Persians) also soon discovered the refreshing fruit of the lemon tree, learning how to cultivate and use it. Greek and Roman merchants brought the lemon tree from Persia to the West. Today it can be found all over the Mediterranean region.
The essence is obtained by pressing the outside of the pericarp or rind of the fruit. Some 4,000 lemons are needed to obtain 1 Kg. of Essential Oil.
Lemon essential oil is attributed with mind stimulating attributes.
Cosmetically, Lemon essential oil has antioxidant and anti-wrinkle properties and stimulates the regeneration and synthesis of collagen. Lemon Essential Oil is a general antiseptic as well.
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.
