Lemon Essential Oil (Citrus limon peel oil) is such an amazingly versatile oil. Its dietary counterpart is Lemon Vitality. The light, clean scent of Lemon is wonderful for diffusing to eliminate odors and freshen the air; other uses vary from household cleaning to personal care. Some of my favorites are:
1. 1-2 drops Lemon Vitality in a glass of water for a flavor enhancer/natural detox (had too many adult beverages? Drink lemon water before bed and you'll feel great in the morning!)
2. 1 drop Lemon Vitality in a bowl of water to use as a fruit/veggie soak
3. 1 drop Lemon EO on tough, sticky residue from labels, price tags, etc - I used it on a glass that had writing with sharpie on it and it came right off after all of my other failed attempts to remove it
4. 1 drop Lemon EO to reduce the appearance of blemishes (though do not use right before going outside, as it can cause photo sensitivity)
5. add a few drops Lemon EO to your DIY hand soap for a fresh, clean scent
6. For immunity support, use the Thieves Tea Recipe: 1 drop Lemon Vitality, 1 drop Peppermint Vitality, 1 drop Thieves Vitality, 1 tsp of honey, all in a mug of hot water or tea
7. 2-3 drops Lemon Vitality mixed in to homemade cream cheese frosting to add a tasty zing
These are just a few of my favorite reasons why I love Lemon and Lemon Vitality, but you certainly don't have to take my word for it. Want to do your own research about this oil? Check out the following peer-reviewed studies, or discover some yourself at:
