What’s in a lemon? 5 Great tips…

Just thought I’d share a few tips on Essential Lemon Oil. I first learned about this when trying to find GREEN cleaning agents for my home. I’ve been slowly getting rid of anything and everything toxic in my home. Did you know the adding a few drops of essential lemon oil to water in a spray bottle is an awesome cleaner? Lemon is a natural antibacterial agent.

So…

1. Add 5-10 drops to water in spray bottle and use to clean any surfaces

2. Add 5-10 drops to water in spray bottle and spray around your home to antibacterialize it, and to make it smell fresh and clean.

3. Add 1 drop to a glass of water and drink it to help boost the immune system.

4. Add 3 drops to 3 teaspoons of distilled water to use as a skin brightener. Use a soft cotton ball to gently massage this mixture into the skin after cleansing.(make sure to follow with a moisterizer)

*Lemon oil is astringent and detoxifying and is therefore great for blemishes as well.

5. Lemon oil is uplifting and cleansing. It replaces negative emotions by creating a cheerful atmosphere of freshness and purity. It can help dispel mental fatigue and psychological heaviness. The aroma of lemon can inspire increased concentration and awareness

*When purchasing Essential oils, make sure they are pure. This website is the best I have found.

<br />

*Lemon oil is powerfully astringent and antiseptic. Because it can cause skin irritation if used by sensitive individuals in dilutions exceeding 5%, it should not be applied undiluted to skin. Five drops or less of lemon oil should be added to a teaspoon of a carrier oil, like coconut oil or olive oil.
