Last week I started an introduction to Essential Oils and then shared how to use them along with some safety tips! Today, I am sharing the first oil with you and we will pick up the pace for next week. I will be sharing an oil post along with my other regular scheduled posts daily! Today I am sharing LEMON! If you are a Lemon lover, please share your favorite Lemon EO tip in the comments section or email them to me and I'll add them here!
- Lemon retails for $14.80 (15ml) and includes the naturally occurring constituent limonene. Research that!
- Lemon is a dietary supplement that enhances the flavor of foods and water.
- A key ingredient in many popular products, including Thieves, Ningxia Red and Inner Defense.
10 Amazing Uses for Lemon Oil
- Laundry – If you, like me, accidentally leave your laundry sitting in the washer too long, just add a few drops of lemon EO and it will refresh them for a great smell.
- Boost Your Hand Soap – Regular soap isn’t doing the trick? No worries, just add a couple drops of lemon EO with your soap and get rid of tough to remove grime and oils
- Natural Cleaner – Want to steer away from alcohol and bleach to disinfect your counter tops and clean your moldy shower? Add 40 drops lemon oil and 20 drops tea tree oil to a 16-oz spray bottle fill with pure water (and a little bit of white vinegar) for a traditional cleaning favorite.
- Teeth Whitener – Mix lemon essential oil, baking soda and coconut oil and rub on your teeth for 2 minutes and then rinse for natural teeth whitener.
- Face-wash – You can mix lemon oil with baking soda and honey for a natural face wash.
- Wood and Silver Polish – A lemon oil-soaked cloth will also help spruce up your tarnished silver and jewelry! Lemon oil for wood cleaning is also great.
- Goo-Be-Gone – Un-stick the sticky goo your kids leave behind with stickers and gum with lemon oil.
- Support your metabolism – Putting 2 drops of lemon oil in your water 3x daily can support metabolism.
- TIP: Mix Lemon with a couple of drops of Lavender and Peppermint and inhale or diffuse. It smells amazing and your head will feel so clear!
- Improves Mood – Diffusing lemon essential oil in the air can lift mood!
- Immune Support – Lemon oil can support lymphatic drainage (every heard of putting lemon in your tea?), mix it with coconut oil and rub it on your neck.
