Focus, Direction, Shine Bright

Dried lemon peel can be used in your magical teas, bath soaks, incense blends and spells.

Lemon peel is derived from the fruit of the lemon tree (Citrus limon), an evergreen tree native to Asia but now cultivated worldwide. The peel contains high concentrations of essential oils, including limonene, which gives it its bright, citrusy aroma. Its yellow colour and refreshing scent are closely tied to its solar associations. The tree thrives in sunny climates, and its fruit and peel are widely used for culinary, medicinal, and aromatic purposes.

Magical Properties

Lemon peel carries vibrant, solar energy that clears mental fog and sharpens focus, making it an ideal addition to rituals or charms designed for clarity and decisiveness. Its bright, uplifting energy fosters a sense of direction and purpose, helping you move forward with confidence. Lemon peel is also associated with purification and renewal, clearing away negativity and allowing you to shine your brightest. It is a symbol of fresh beginnings, perfect for intentions centred around personal growth and transformation.

Medicinal Properties

Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and essential oils, lemon peel supports immune health and aids digestion. Its bioflavonoids help reduce inflammation, while its uplifting citrus aroma can alleviate stress and promote mental alertness. Lemon peel is also used to support healthy skin, often featured in scrubs or infusions to rejuvenate and refresh. Consumed in teas or culinary dishes, it stimulates digestion and adds a zesty flavour, contributing to overall vitality and wellness.

Historical Properties

Lemon peel has been valued for centuries as a culinary, medicinal, and magical ingredient. In traditional European folklore, lemon was a symbol of longevity, health, and happiness. The peel, with its concentrated oils, was burned or infused in water to cleanse spaces and attract prosperity. Lemons were carried on voyages to prevent scurvy, making the peel a historical symbol of protection and vitality. Its association with the sun connects it to light and clarity in ancient traditions.
