Today, I'll be addressing a single question, and I'm thrilled to delve into the topic of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is a profound interest of mine, one that I've been deeply immersed in for numerous years. In particular, I'd like to spotlight lemon essential oil.

Lemon essential oil boasts several benefits. It possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties while supporting the liver, spleen,
