Note: oils extracted from bark, resins, roots of trees or plants will NOT work with a nebulizer because these oils are too thick and will cause clogging. Therefore, for inhalation, use these thicker essential oils ONLY with a diffuser. Read our FAQ page for the list of essential oils which are not recommended to use with a nebulizer.

Diffusion

This extremely versatile oil is popular throughout the world for centuries and is loved by many for its scent and its amazing healing properties for the body, mind, and spirit.

Mood booster: make the most of this sunny, zesty oil by diffusing it at home. The oil can help dispel mental fatigue, lack of concentration, and low spirits.

Nausea: great to use with a nebulizer, which produces a more powerful scent faster to help alleviate nausea and morning sickness during pregnancy.

Lymphatic drainage: diffuse it with a carrier oil to unclog the lymphatic system which gets clogged during allergies, sinus infections, colds, and flu. Diffusing lemon alone or a blend will help you breathe better which in turn will unclog your lymph. 

Topical Application

Immune system support: combine a drop or two of lemon oil with coconut oil and massage on the neck. The beneficial properties of the Lemon oil will help flush out lymph fluid from the body.

Circulatory problems and poor digestion: full body massage with lemon oil mixed with a carrier oil.

Face wash: add a little lemon oil to a face wash can help clear skin. Another way to experience its benefits is to mix it with baking soda and honey for deeper cleansing.

Teeth whitener: for a natural home remedy, combine with baking soda and coconut oil and scrub teeth for a couple of minutes before rinsing.

Other Uses

Culinary uses: 1-2  drop max. of lemon oil can be used as a substitute for all the recipes that requires lemon peel or lemon juice for baking and cooking. It enhances the vitamins absorption in the body, and it's also for improving and maintaining skin elasticity. 

Wood and silver polish: soak a cloth in some lemon oil to polish silver items or polish wood using the oil to add shine and a lovely aroma.

Cleaning products: add to cleaning products to disinfect home surfaces and refresh the ambiance.

Oil Specific: phototoxic, skin sensitivity, don't expose skin to sunlight for 12 hours after application.

General: keep out of reach of children and pets. Not for internal use unless taken under the supervision or recommendation of an aromatherapist professional. Do not use undiluted on skin, eyes, or mucous membranes; it could cause allergic reactions. Always test first on a small portion of your skin. If you are pregnant, consult with a healthcare provider/ professional experienced with essential oils as some essential oil are less tolerated while others are well loved by pregnant women.

Storage and Handling: the shelf life of ESSENTIAL OILS is usually around 1 year after they're opened, and up to 2 years when unopened. All essential oils oxidize and are subject to lose their therapeutic value and aromatic quality in time. Essential oils benefit from proper storage and handling. Avoid keeping essential oils in a location that is prone to sudden temperature changes such as the bathroom or kitchen. Store them in a cool, dark place, away from heat and light.
