A cup of warm water with a freshly squeezed lemon or ingestible Lemon E.O., can help to alkaline your body and will act as a detoxifier in your body, helping to cleanse out toxins and purify your liver. It is a great disinfectant for cleaning around the house. The properties of Lemon E.O. can help your body fight against cellulite and its astringent properties fight acne. If you have a dry cough you can rub some on your chest and if you have a runny nose, it is good for that, too. Lemon E.O. works great as a moisturizer in a facial toner. Its fragrance is mood lifting and can help you with your concentration, ease mental fatigue and works to calm anxiety and nervousness.

Lemon is one of natures most versatile fruits, and because of its high vitamin C content, antibacterial and astringent properties, lemon is the de facto garnish in herbal teas. Lemon is used in herbal medicine to help build immunity against colds, influenza, and other viral infections. In her classic work, Grieve tells us lemon is a good astringent to use in gargles for sore throats as wise women well know. Lemon is very effective for disinfecting and cleaning household surfaces, and leaves a fresh clean scent.(2) Adding a simple slice of lemon to water not only improves taste, it provides citric acid, purifies the water, and balances Ph levels.

Lemons are an old standby for home beauty treatments. Lemon and lemon oil help to prevent wrinkles while adding a refreshing note in facial washes and masks. Applying lemon juice to facial blemishes is another popular home remedy for treating acne. Putting lemon juice on your hair and then lying in the sun was how a country girl went about getting highlights in my youth. Lemon is very astringent which is why is works so well, but also why you have to be careful not to use so much that the end result is dry, flaky skin and hair. Lemon essential oil can be used for many of the same applications as fresh lemons, without being quite as drying. Fresh lemons are becoming so expensive, especially during the winter months, that lemon essential oil may be the better bargain as well.

Lemon essential oil benefits you in good ways – it helps you stay sharp & alert plus it cleanses, sanitizes and minimizes skin oiliness

On days when you just can’t crawl out of bed when the alarm clock rings, this is the remedy.

A whiff of lemon essential oil is like slicing through a gorgeous lemon, picked fresh off the tree. The burst of fragrance is strong, fresh and lively.

That’s why I call lemon essential oil the scent of a happy day! Nothing beats its clean and vibrant scent to keep you alert the entire day.

I love this scent and inhale it during the day especially when I’m working on the computer and need tons of concentration!

How Is This Essential Oil Differs From Others In the Market: 

The cultivation, harvesting, and distillation processes of each batch of essential oils are carefully controlled. Young Living has a strict Seed to Seal process that they adhere to strictly when producing their essential oils and this starts from the farms. The essential oils are derived from plants grown in US (Whispering Springs Farm, St Maries & Highland Flats Tree Farm – Utah & Idaho), Ecuador (Guayaquil), Oman (Salalah) and France (Simiane-la-Rotonde).

Once harvested, the plants are distilled using a proprietary low-temperature, low-pressure steam distillation process to ensure beneficial plant compounds in every batch of essential oil remain uncompromised. These oils then undergo stringent lab testing at the company’s own labs and third party audits to verify that each bottle of essential oil meets purity and potency standards.

Dilute before using on sensitive areas such as the face, neck, genital area, etc. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid using on infants and very small children. Avoid using on skin exposed to direct sunlight or UV rays. Do not use near fire, flame, heat or sparks.

If you apply lemon or any other citrus essential oil on your body, remember that you should not expose your skin to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light within 72 hours.
