| Bright Yellow Lemons! |
Besides being an excellent source of vitamin C goodness, lemon has been tested and proven to have an impact on a wide variety of ailments/complaints and the list is as follows:
-antiviral
-anticancer
-antioxidant
-astringent
-antidepressant
-antifungal
-antiseptic
-invigorating
-tonic
-refreshing
As usual, the Belle will list out a number of ways you can use this nifty essential oil. Here goes!
-Aromatherapy: In a burner or diffuser. The aroma purifies the air, uplifts the mood and invigorates the mind. It also helps with concentration.
-Massage: diluted with a carrier oil like coconut or sweet almond, helps with healing the affected area.
*When using lemon essential oil topically, always avoid the sun for at least 12 hours to prevent photo sensitivity.
-As a drink: 1 drop together with a tablespoon of honey, dissolved in water. This helps with intestinal issues and helps to clear toxins from the body. (Be sure the essential oil you have is food grade!) Clear system+Beautiful skin!
-Insect bites and stings: Used on insect bites and stings, it helps prevent the possibility of infection.
-Toner:Use with caution (see note above on photosensitivity) as a spritzer, being careful to avoid the eyes-- simply add 3-4 drops to about 100ml water
-Cleaning:Mix 7-8 drops to about 100 ml water, shake well. Use to help remove grease marks as well as disinfect. (And mummies, this works great for sticker/tape glue marks and gum!)
*As always, the list is not exhaustive. But these are the most convenient ways to use this wonderful oil.
**Be careful when using around your pets, especially felines--citrus oils are especially toxic to cats. Be careful when using round the very young (below 6) and the aged.
