In life, there are many small and useful tips that are easily implemented with readily available household ingredients, yet bring many beneficial effects to family members. The following is one such tip.
Specifically, according to a girl living in Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi, she often sees her mother putting a lemon cut on the bedside or in a corner of the bedroom near the bed every night. So what exactly is the effect of doing this?

In fact, this is a small tip that helps people get a better night’s sleep and improve their sleep quality. By nature, lemons are not only a type of drink or used as a spice to season family meals, but also bring many good effects to human health. According to the India Times, lemons are rich in antioxidants and antibacterial properties. Specifically, these substances can be vitamins C, A and B, copper, manganese, calcium, potassium, magnesium… Traditional Indian medicine also believes that lemon is an ingredient that can activate physiological reactions in the body.
Therefore, lemon water, lemon essential oil or even just the scent of lemon also support human health. Placing a cut lemon in the room, especially the bedroom or next to the bed, is said to have the following 4 main uses.
Benefits of placing a cut lemon in the bedroom
1. Good for breathing
The scent of lemon or lemon essential oil in the air can help promote the breathing process for humans. Especially for people with asthma or sinusitis, lemon will help improve their breathing condition to some extent.
The respiratory tract of a person will be cleared, making it easier to breathe. Improved breathing means that sleep will become sounder and deeper. This will make people’s spirits more comfortable and pleasant. Many studies have shown that lemon can help people who often suffer from insomnia at night.

2. Air purification
Lemons are not only an ingredient commonly used to clean many household items, but they can also clean the air with their scent and essential oils. The air in rooms, especially those that are small, stuffy and enclosed, often have unpleasant odours, will be more or less cleaned by cutting a lemon and placing it in the corner of the room.
To increase the effectiveness of this measure, users can also add a little white salt to the lemon. Leave it overnight or for a day and then replace it with a new dish of lemon and salt.
3. Pain relief
Some studies at the Maryland University Medical Center in the United States have shown that the scent of lemon also has the effect of reducing headaches and pain from rheumatoid arthritis. At the same time, the scent of lemon also helps reduce anxiety, stress, and creates a sense of relaxation for those who are studying or working at high intensity.
Therefore, not only in the bedroom, but placing lemon in the study room or on the desk corner is also very good.

4. Repels insects
The third benefit of placing a cut lemon in the bedroom or near the bed is to repel harmful insects that affect people’s sleep. This method is especially useful in the summer, when mosquitoes grow and develop strongly and dengue fever breaks out.
In addition to mosquitoes, lemon can also repel flies and ants. Using lemons to repel insects is not only effective but is also considered a safe method, without using chemicals, thus saving and being more friendly to human health, especially children’s.
