Lemon

Lemon oil has SO many uses! I was able to find tons and tons of uses for lemon oil.

A great source of lemon oil uses is this website: https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/essential-oils/health-benefits-of-lemon-oil.html

Here is what I got from the website that I found very helpful!

Stress

Lemon oil is calming in nature and therefore helps in removing mental fatigue, exhaustion, dizziness, anxiety, nervousness and nervous tension. It has the ability to refresh the mind by creating a positive mindset and removing negative emotions. It is also believed that inhaling lemon oil helps in increasing concentration and alertness. You can defuse the oil into the air or rub onto your skin (feet, neck and shoulders).

Immune system

Lemon oil has a high vitamin content, which makes it a wonderful booster for the body’s immune system. It further stimulates white blood cells, thus increasing your ability to fight off diseases. Lemon oil also improves circulation throughout the body. Using lemon oil on a daily basis will help boost your immune system.

Asthma

It is believed that lemons are also useful for treating asthma, since inhaling the aroma of lemons can clear the nasal passages and sinuses, promoting good air flow and steady breathing. Defuse into the air or rub onto your chest.

Stomach ailments

Since lemon oil is carminative, it is used in the treatment of various stomach problems, including indigestion, acidity, upset stomach, and cramps. Rub onto your stomach or 2-3 drops in a glass of water. 

Hair care

Lemon oil is also effective as a hair tonic. Many people use lemon oil to get strong, healthy and shiny hair. Lemon oil is also used to eliminate dandruff. Rub through wet hair before styling.

Fever

Lemon oil is effective against infectious diseases such as fever, malaria and typhoid. Rub on feet and back.

Cleaners

Lemon is a good cleaner, which is why it is used for cleansing the body, metal surfaces, dishes, and clothes. It is also a disinfectant, so it is commonly used for cleaning surfaces such as butcher’s knives and blocks that can get contaminated very easily.
