Lemons come from a small evergreen tree that grows up to 5 meters high and produces white flowers surrounded by pink. The lemon tree is originally from Asia but now grows in the Mediterranean region too. It is cultivated in Italy, Cypress, Israel, and California, where most of the oil is made. It takes 3,000 lemon rinds to produce 1 kg of essential oil by cold pressing.

Educators have long known that recreating the exam environment can be helpful for memory. However, it's hard to do unless you take the exam at home. The smell of essential oils, like lemon, can trigger memories and aid in retention. Some studies suggest that using lemon oil while studying and writing exams improves memory. Other studies show that peppermint and rosemary oils can enhance memory.

The name "lemon" comes from the Arabic word laimun or the Persian word limun. Crusaders brought the lemon tree to Europe during the Middle Ages. Lemons are rich in vitamins A, B, and C. Sailors in the Royal Navy were given an ounce of lemon daily to prevent scurvy and vitamin deficiencies.

Greeks and Romans in the Middle Ages praised the therapeutic properties of lemons.
