Essential Oil of the Month for January - Lemon Oil

This is actually one of DoTERRA’s top selling oils and I can absolutely see why as it has so many uses and benefits. Known for its cleansing, purifying and deodorising properties, it can be used for cleansing both the body and the home! A 15ml bottle of DoTERRA lemon oil contains 75 lemons (or rather, the rind of).
 
Here are just some of the uses of Lemon oil and its amazing benefits to health!

  1. Internal Support - Doterra’s essential oils can be taken internally as they are absolutely 100% pure with no chemicals, pesticides or fillers. I like to put a drop of lemon oil in my morning glass of water, and then add a drop to my glass drinks bottle to drink during the day. It gives a lovely alternative to plain water (which I find quite boring). Lemon oil can aid digestion too, hence why I like to take it first thing on an empty stomach.
  2. Hay Fever - Lemon oil is also very helpful when seasonal discomfort starts to kick in, such as hay fever. Try taking lemon internally to assist with respiratory discomfort.
  3. Mood Lifting - When diffused, lemon oil can help to promote a positive mood as it is one of the uplifting oils (in fact, all of the citrus oils have this effect on the brain). To diffuse, simply add 3 to 4 drops to your diffuser. Lemon oil also helps to cleanse and purify the air in the home, making it a great non-toxic air freshener.
  4. Cleaning - Lemon oil is also brilliant at cleaning surfaces as it cuts through grease effortlessly. I add a few drops of lemon oil with On Guard (a powerful Doterra anti-microbial blend) and Melaleuca (also known as Tea Tree and also very good at killing things) to a bottle of purified water, and use this to clean all surfaces in my home, including the bathroom. To make it slightly stronger, you can add a little vinegar to the mix too.
  5. Furniture Care - Want to create a non-toxic wood cleaner? Simply add some to olive oil. Just make sure to test an inconspicuous area first. This combo helps to replace lost moisture in furniture and gives it a lovely sheen. And not a chemical in sight! Lemon oil can also be used to help preserve leather such as sofas.
  6. Cooking - Doterra’s lemon oil can also be used in cooking (as can many of the oils). Create a zesty punch in dessert recipes, or simply add to some hummus to give it a citrusy kick! Where lemon juice or rind is used you can always try to replace it with lemon oil – you’ll be amazed at how good it is! Brilliant for baking too, such as Lemon Drizzle cake!
