Giving yourself a moment of wellness doesn’t need to be a struggle. Proof is this routine that I signed up for this summer. And all thanks to a plant that we can all grow in our balcony, terrace or garden. Originally from Asia and the South Pacific, it is characterized by its unmistakable citrus scent. Its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and diaphoretic properties make it a great ally to improve health, skin and hair problems. But not only this, moreover, this wholesome herb has a delicious aroma of citrus which helps in lifting your spirits. Lastly, it is the best companion for summer evenings on the balcony as it is successful in keeping mosquitoes away. As for the climax: It’s very cheap.
