In the OTHER USES section, add a sub-header titled "Henna Tattoos" with the following content: Mehendi body art, or henna tattoos, are cultural staples of many variations of Indian wedding ceremonies. Applying an even mix of lemon juice and sugar to moisten the henna tattoos helps the tattoo last longer and stain darker.

Description for the plant

I suggest someone uploads the description of the plant 197.239.4.121 (talk) 16:16, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why this article is locked. It should be explained on this talkpage but there is no mention of the lock anywhere. Isn't this supposedly a free encyclopedia? Anyway, the article claims aroma 'therapy' of lemon is beneficial for relaxation. It then cites a scientific paper which suggests it might be beneficial for relaxation when combined with massage. Leaving out this fact and claiming that this snake oil is evidence based is disinformation and only beneficial to Quackery. There are no studies that shown it to be beneficial on its own, so please correct this. The cited source suggests that it might be beneficial when combined with massage. It does not say lemon aroma has magical properties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A420:45:2D66:2473:5A51:8F3D:E13C (talk) 13:10, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lemon in moorish spain

I'm sorry, but lemons could not be cultivated in moorish Spain around 400 AD for the simple reason that the moors did not invade the Iberian Peninsula until 711. So either there were no lemons, or the lemons were cultivated perhaps by jews, or by romans/visigoths 2A01:CB18:8232:E200:908D:E8E2:6C45:DB3 (talk) 20:17, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a WP:RS source for this history. Zefr (talk) 20:50, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Lemon. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Change "Around 400 AD they were planted in orchards in Moorish Spain" to Around 400 AD they were planted in orchards in Spain."

Whomever added that in not only forgot to add the period, but misrepresented the source, namely the Moors didn't invade Spain until 711 AD, 300 years after the source states lemons first appeared in Spain. 73.142.216.166 (talk) 01:25, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
