Overview
Our lemon essential oil is the one of the sweetest and sunniest that we’ve ever sniffed. It comes from Italy and definitely imparts a brightness to any blend! Lemon essential oil is such a versatile oil- it’s antimicrobial, antiviral, and helps to move stagnant fluids within the body, which makes it ideal for use in circulation-promoting therapeutic blends. Emotionally, lemon is said to open the heart, uplift, and ease depressive episodes. Alternatively, use it, in equal portions, with eucalyptus, a squirt of castile soap, and 2 tablespoons of baking soda to make an extremely potent germ-busting multi-purpose cleaner.

Blends well with:
Floral notes like geranium, lavender, rose, as well as all other citrus oils.

Safety Information:
Dilute to appropriate concentration (.5-2%) in a suitable carrier oil. Avoid contact with mucous membranes and eyes. Lemon is a photosensitive oil, so avoid direct sunlight if applying to skin. It should never be used directly on the skin or the face for that reason. Patch test skin before application to test skin sensitivity. If any irritation or discomfort occurs, discontinue use.
