Lemon Essential Oil is one of the BEST Essential Oils to have for your home ~ as it is so versatile. You can use it in cleaning, furniture polish, floor cleaner, not to mention counter tops, too!
In addition, it makes a wonderful addition to your water (drink 8 cups a day!) and in support of your health care.
How does Lemon Essential Oil Support your Body?
Lemon Oil is cold pressed from the rinds of Lemons; unlike Lemon Juice, it’s pH Neutral and does not contain citric acid – so it’s much better for teeth enamel. Even more potent than juice too… because it takes 75 lemons to produce one 15 ml bottle of Lemon Essential Oil.
Lemon Essential Oil absorbs into the liver MUCH better than Lemon Juice.
Not only will it increase your focus and energy levels, it will also work well for respiratory support, and is great to support your body.
Unlike Lemon Juice, Lemon Essential Oil contains 68% d-limonene... it’s a non-toxic part of citrus fruit, and herbs.. it’s a wonderful way to boost to your body’s natural defenses.
11 ways you can incorporate Lemon Essential Oil:
Polishing Silverware: If you have fine silverware or your silverware needs a bit of a boost, Lemon Essential Oil works perfect — use regular paper towels and place a few drops of Lemon Essential Oil on them.
