Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon essential oil is cold pressed from lemon rinds, and when used internally, dissolves petrochemicals from the body’s cells. It's also uplifting to the mood, and can be used to make your own all-natural household cleaner!

 

Usage Tips:

• Lemon oil can be used topically, aromatically, and internally.
• Take internally to assist with seasonal respiratory discomfort.
• Add lemon oil to a spray bottle of water to clean tables, countertops, and other surfaces.
• Use it to polish silver, and combat the early stages of tarnish.

• Diffuse lemon essential oil to promote a positive mood, and focus.
• Substitute lemon oil in recipes calling lemon zest, lemon juice, or lemon extract.
