In America, English sailors would use lemons while on the sea to protect themselves from scurvy and conditions caused by bacterial infections.

Lemon oil is extracted from the lemon peels or lemon rinds, and not the inner fruit. The peel is actually the most nutrient-dense portion of the lemon because of its fat-soluble phytonutrients. Lemon essential oil is composed of many natural compounds, including terpenes, sesquiterpenes, aldehydes, alcohols, esters, and sterols. 

The lime oil smells like a freshly cut lemon and is yellowish in color. It has a number of beneficial properties and finds use in several different applications, ranging from personal care products and home cleaning products to furniture polishes. The main chemicals in lemon oil include alpha-pinene, myrcene, alpha-terpinene, Linalool, camphene, limonene, and beta bisabolene. Unlike most other essential oils that are obtained by the process of steam distillation, lemon oil is generally manufactured by the process of cold extraction.
