3. Air Purification
Lemon contains compounds that can help neutralize certain airborne bacteria and impurities.
While it’s not a substitute for proper ventilation, it may contribute to a fresher, cleaner room environment.
4. Symbolic & Traditional Use
In some cultures, a salted or “X-cut” lemon by the bed is considered a way to absorb negative energy or bad vibes.
While this is more symbolic, it can promote a sense of well-being and ritual, which supports better sleep.
How to Prepare Your Lemon
Wash a fresh lemon thoroughly.
Cut a small “X” into the peel on the top.
Optionally, sprinkle a little salt into the cut.
Place the lemon on a plate or small dish beside your bed.
Tip: Replace the lemon every night or every few days to maintain freshness.
Keeping a lemon by your bed is a low-cost, natural way to potentially improve sleep, refresh the air, and add a touch of wellness ritual to your nightly routine.
