Lemon Essential Oil

  • Lemon is a disinfectant! Dilute 10 drops of pure lemon oil in a spray bottle of water and spray over door handles, countertops, etc. It smells clean and fresh on linens and sprayed as a room spray.
  • Rub a few drops neat (no dilution) on marker, ink, adhesive (from price tag or label)....rub with finger or magic eraser and presto!
  • Lemon is also wonderful in combination with clove and peppermint to treat a fever (diffuse or rub on feet using a carrier like coconut oil)
  • Add a drop of lemon to your water bottle for a refreshing drink.
  • Add a drop of lemon to warm water for a sore throat.
  • Use in combination with peppermint and lavender for allergy symptoms (diffuse or take internally).
