Scientists at Tel Aviv University suggest that citrus fragrances – particularly lemon – can alleviate depression & boost our mood.
Lemon smell indeed boosts serotonin levels (a feel-good hormone) & lowers levels of norepinephrine (a stress hormone)
Putting lemon juice in bathing water is also beneficial & can enhance your mood.
It is also a natural bleaching agent.
