Antiseptic Benefits
A lemon's scent has antiseptic qualities that can positively affect your mood. This aroma may reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, creating a more uplifting environment. Simply cut the top off a lemon and place it upright with the cut side facing up. Then, make crosswise cuts into the top without fully separating the pieces. Set the lemon in a bowl near your bed and let the fragrance work. For enhanced effect, place a bowl of cut lemons in each corner of the room.
