Why Put Lemons by Your Bed?
It may sound odd, but placing sliced lemons near your bed has become a popular natural wellness trick.
This simple habit offers several surprising benefits backed by science and aromatherapy.
Natural Air Cleaner & Bug Repellent
Lemons have strong antibacterial and antiviral properties.
When sliced and left by your bedside, they release essential oils that can purify the air naturally. “You might notice a cleaner, lighter scent in your bedroom—and a more pleasant environment for restful sleep.”
Additionally, their strong citrus scent can help repel mosquitoes and other insects. Some people boost the effect by adding cloves to the lemon slices for an extra bug-fighting combo.
Better Breathing at Night
If you suffer from congestion, allergies, or mild snoring, lemons might help. Their scent contains limonene, a natural compound known to reduce inflammation and improve airflow. “Many people report that sleeping next to lemon slices helps open up nasal passages, reduces coughing, and even helps ease snoring in some cases.”
