Fun essential oil fact: It takes 3000 lemons to produce 1 kg of essential oil, which is obtained by cold-pressing the rind.
Lemon essential oil is amazingly versatile and handy. It’s one of those ‘must-have’ oils, which is why it’s included in the Young Living Everyday Oils Collection.
You probably associate it with cleaning power, and rightly so. Add 10 to 20 drops of authentic lemon essential oil to your natural dishwashing liquid for extra oomph and a delicious natural fragrance that’s actually good for you. Please buy a dishwashing liquid that’s fragrance-free, as most of the so-called ‘green’ products might tick plenty of ‘non-toxic’ boxes but still include synthetic fragrances which defeat much of the purpose.
Along with cleaning plates and household surfaces, however, lemon essential oil also cleanses the skin and is included in many skincare products. Think of any situation where you’d like to cleanse and freshen and there’s a great chance lemon will take care of business for you.
Lemon is also uplifting and a great ‘feel good’ oil, as are all the citrus oils in general. So just maybe by adding a little to your natural cleaning products, you’ll find the chores not quite as irksome as they normally would be. Ok, maybe I’m getting a little carried away! But it can’t hurt. You can check out our top 9 tips for lemon essential oil here.
Essential oils are potent, so please follow directions on the bottle and the usual guidelines for safe use of authentic essential oils.
Not all essential oils are created equal. Far from it. Quality varies immensely, so please ensure you are choosing a brand with complete transparency from seed to seal, such as Young Living. Discover why we love them so much in this short video.
