The power of lemons has been used for centuries. Lemons have been a popular cooking ingredient and cure-all in Asian countries, especially since the lemon tree is native to the area. Although lemon trees are native to Asia, eventually lemon trees were cultivated in Europe, and later, Christopher Columbus would introduce them to the Americas.
