Comments on Lemon: Lemon oil has a number of important properties, such as the ability to stimulate the immune system and to increase the production of white corpuscles.~This is of value in the treatment of external wounds and in infectious illnesses.~Lemon is also haemostatic (aids in blood clotting to stop bleeding), making it useful for minor injuries, tooth extraction and nose bleeds.~Lemon may also reduce body temperature when applied by compress. Lemon is a powerful bactericide.~Dr. Valnet cites research which has shown that the oil will kill diphtheria bacilli in 20 minutes and will make tuberculosis bacilli completely inactive, even in low dilution.
