what it does
Lemon is an invigorating and cleansing natural scent. Breathing lemon is a natural strategy used by mountaineers for lack of oxygen. The first man to climb to the summit of Mt. Everest, Edmund Hillary has said that his accomplishment was greatly due to lemon. Meyer lemons have a sweeter scent than traditional lemons due to their origin of being a cross between lemons and mandarins.
Eucalyptus is an anti-inflammatory. It is very clarifying and can help with a stuffy head, headaches, congestion, cold care and promote healthy breathing.
