In many ancient traditions, lime is considered a symbol of purity and vitality. Its bright, tangy scent evokes freshness, renewal, and sometimes even a form of protection against negative energy. As for salt, it plays a central role in purification rituals across many cultures: it is said to ward off negative energy, absorb moisture, and help purify the atmosphere.
These two elements complement each other perfectly.
But is it really effective? What the science says
Although this practice has not been the subject of in-depth clinical studies, certain aspects are supported by current scientific knowledge:
The essential oils naturally present in lemon are known for their beneficial effects on stress, concentration and feelings of freshness.
Salt is hygroscopic : it attracts moisture from the air, which can make the atmosphere more comfortable, especially in slightly humid rooms.
The result: a room that smells good, is less cluttered, and has a lighter atmosphere, as if you had aired it out thoroughly.
