While I was reading one of my aromatherapy books yesterday, I came across an interesting “fun fact” about lemon essential oil (citrus limon). It’s great for mental concentration and clear thinking. Who couldn’t use some more of that?

According to The Essential Oils Desk Reference Third Edition, researchers in Japan found that diffused lemon essential oil resulted in 54% fewer errors in an office. (Diffused jasmine and lavender resulted in 33% and 20% fewer errors, respectively.) When oils were diffused during test-taking, scores increased as much as 50%!

Wow! See if you can convince the proctor to diffuse lemon oil while your kid is taking the SAT!
