Health Benefits:

Long known for its bright, tangy flavor and pure lemon scent, lemon essential oil can clear and stimulate a fatigued mind when used in a diffuser. The ability of lemon essential oil to increase mental clarity make lemon essential oil a particularly useful oil for use in the home or workplace. Lemon oil is generally detoxifying for the entire system and has been used specifically to support the lungs' natural function of clearing phlegm. Lemon essential oil's warm, familiar scent can support deep sleep, digestive balance, and mood upliftment. The fresh, sweet scent of lemon, combined with its healing properties, make oil of lemon an excellent choice for those who may be sensitive to stronger smelling medicinal oils such as tea tree. Lemon and other citrus oils are potentially phototoxic: please see the safety section below.

How to Use:

Use lemon essential oil in a diffuser in the home, office or daycare, to purify the environment.  Add lemon essential oil to water in a spray bottle and use as a cleaner to purify surfaces in the home and workplace simultaneously uplifting the mood. Use direct-palm inhalation to receive the cheerful, invigorating effects of our pure lemon oil. Lemon oil can also be highly diluted in a carrier oil such as marula oil or jojoba oil and used as part of an invigorating massage oil. Please see safety considerations below before applying lemon essential oil to skin.

More Information:

The healing power of lemon essential oil is mirrored by the automatic response most people have to lemon's pungent and stimulating flavor. Just thinking of the sour flavor of lemon can produce the same response one would have if actually eating the brilliant yellow fruit. It is this strong connection to our minds, and thus, our senses, for which lemon oil is best known in the healing and culinary communities.
