Can't Find the Trees 'Cause the Forest Slaps You In the Face? It's OK - If It's a Lemon Forest!
That's how I feel sometimes searching the massive "internet library" and resources I own; however when I find an outstanding bit of information - I can't help but share with others of like mindedness.
BioMed Research International has given us "food for thought" in a "natural" way when it focused on essential oils in this 23 page report, "Essential Oils and Their Constituents as Anticancer Agents: A Mechanistic View". (Interested in reading this report?) Most people are seeking ways to support their body system in a more natural way rather than using harsh chemicals that seem to create other problems and side effects. I'm thrilled that scientist are exploring alternative options, according to BioMed, "Recently, in the last decade, essential oils (EOs) have been under study for their use in cancer therapy and the present review is an attempt to collect and document the available studies indicating EOs and their constituents as anticancer agents."
One of those alternatives is lemon essential oil. Yes, you read that correctly - lemon essential oil is the alternative being studied. According to Why Science is Sweet on Lemon Essential Oil as a Cancer Fighter"*, "Chinese scientists extracted lemon essential oil and tested it on a series of human cervical adenocarcinoma cell lines. They found that the oil not only blocked the cancer cell lines from spreading, but also inhibited oxidizing free radicals from harming healthy cells."
