Lemon oil, as is the case for many oils in the citrus family, has an established wealth of healing benefits! It's primarily known for its effectiveness in cleansing toxins from the body, strengthening the body's defense system against harmful pathogens and stimulating lymphatic drainage. It also serves as a natural remedy for nausea brought on by morning sickness associated with pregnancy. It also is effective in easing digestive distress resulting from conditions such as gastritis and constipation.
Metaphysically: Lemon is a powerful cleanser and purifier, both energetically and physically. It promotes clarity of thought, focus, and positive energy. It can be used to uplift the spirits, dispel negativity, and enhance intuition.
Safety is paramount when working with pure essential oils. This blend is potent and should always be diluted with a carrier oil (such as jojoba, almond, or fractionated coconut oil) before topical application. A general guideline is 1-3% dilution (e.g., 5-15 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil). Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, consult your physician before use. Diffuse in a well-ventilated area and start with shorter diffusion times to assess your sensitivity.
