Lemon Essential Oil is known to be invigorating, cleansing, and purifying. Both the Lemon fruit and the essential oil have been used in Ayurvedic medicines for thousands of years to treat a vast range of health issues. Lemon Oil possibly has the most powerful anti-microbial activity of all the essential oils. Lemon Oil can boost energy and metabolism, enhance moods, and disinfect skin. A powerful antimicrobial, it has long been used as a natural disinfectant. This magical oil also improves skin tone, treats acne, and heals wounds of all kinds. It is also an incredible stress reliever and has been used to increase energy, reduce anxiety and depression, and even relieve pain.

Used topically after dilution in a carrier oil or in a skin care product, Lemon Essential Oil boosts circulation, metabolism, and digestive function. It relieves constipation and reduces blood pressure as well as cellulite. It can inhibit or soothe inflammation such as headaches and can ease the discomfort associated with arthritis.

Its anti-bacterial properties can sanitize not only wounds but also objects. Its astringent properties rejuvenate dull complexions, making Lemon Oil effective for restoring the luster to tired or sagging skin. Lemon Oil’s high vitamin content boosts immunity by stimulating the body’s ability to combat harmful bacteria.

Used in aromatherapy, it can reduce fever and flu and relieve throat infections and cough. By clearing the nasal passages, it promotes easier breathing for those with respiratory issues or infections. This rejuvenating, clean-smelling essential oil is commonly used to enhance concentration and energy. When diffused indoors, Lemon Essential Oil eliminates toxins in both the air and on surfaces. It can be used as a non-toxic cleaner and air freshener throughout the home for a mood-elevating, cooling, and revitalizing effect. It has a calming effect that can subdue negative moods such as anxiety.

Light, invigorating, and refreshing, Lemon oil pairs well with tea tree, rose, ylang-ylang, and other citrus oils for an incredible aromatic experience.
