The amazing qualities of Pure Organic Lemon Essential Oil

Growing up, we have all heard our mothers and grandmothers tell us to drink lemon water in the morning to stay healthy. And guess what, they were right. Lemons are full of nutrients, including vitamin C, B-complex, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and fibre. Dilute it with water and have it first thing in the morning, and wait for around 20 minutes before having breakfast to fully reap the health benefits of lemon water.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Lemon juice is full of vitamin C, which keeps the immune system strong and helps manage stress. So when you feel stressed or tired, have a glass of lemon water to feel refreshed.​​​​​​​​

• Topically: Mix 1 drop with 5ml carrier oil (sweet almond recommended) in our Roller Ball and apply to wrists, chest or back of the neck. Smells like lemon sherbert sweets! 

• Hand or foot bath: Add 2 drops to a bowl of water. Lemon may be useful in the treatment of nail infections or gout.
• Compress: Add 2 drops to a bowl of water. For treating inflammation or to cool down use cold to room temperature water. For aching tight muscles use warm to hot water. Agitate a face cloth in the water, wring out excess moisture and apply cloth to the affected area. Repeat two or three times as the compress cools down or warms up.
• Steam Treatment: Add 2 drops of essential oil to a bowl of steaming hot water. Place your face close to the bowl and cover the back of your head and bowl with a towel to trap the aromatic vapours. Caution due to risk of burns or scalding and keep eyes covered during treatment.
• Disinfectant – 200ml water into a spray bottle, 10 drops of tea-tree and 5 drops of lemon oil, shake to blend

Lemon Essential Oil: Blends well with peppermint, lavender, geranium and eucalyptus.

Lemon is considered a safe essential oil (pregnancy, children). However, it may cause skin irritation and phototoxicity. Avoid sun exposure after topical application. If using lemon essential oil to treat the face, or any skin, it is best to apply in the evening or avoid sun exposure after application.

There are some family members and our pets that may need oils to be more diluted. 

Babies and young children, pregnant and breast-feeding mothers, the frail and the elderly. Topical applications need to be at much lower dilutions, as low a 1% (1 drop in 10ml of carrier oil) and not all essential oils are recommended. This oil can be used safely. 

Please see our faq here and if you unsure always take advise from a clinical aromatherapist for best practise. 

Sending healthy wishes 💚
