Lemon Essential Oil Benefits
🍋Lemon essential oil could be one of THE most versatile oils, and is the number one oil I recommend for people just starting out with essential oils.
Lemon has benefits for both your body and your mind, not to mention your house, and your family! It is mood balancing, sharpens you up, improves focus and relieves stress. Drop one or two drops of lemon in your hand, rub your hands together and take a few deep breaths, you will immediately feel the effects! Give it a try!
Lemon Essential Oil Uses
Leave it on your kitchen bench and you will find you will think of all sorts of uses for it! I like to add a drop onto my bench after tidying up after cooking tea, then I wipe the whole bench with it on my cloth, it gets rid of cooking smells and gives you a burst of lemon happiness as you clean. Add to a bit of baking soda in the bottom of pots where there are stubborn bits of food - leave for a few minutes or overnight it very stubborn then you'll find it easier to clean off. A a few drops to your dishwater or to your rinse aid compartment in your dishwasher.
🍋 2 drops into your sink after you have cleaned it then wipe over with a paper towel, it will shine up your sink then go ahead and wipe it over any other greasy surfaces like the front of your microwave and stove (if suitable) - add some more drops to your paper towel if you need to
🍋 1 drop in a luke warm glass of water to start your day
🍋1 drop mixed with honey and warm water for a soothing drink
🍋1 drop added to a cup of chamomile tea - or tea of your choice
🍋1-3 drops mixed with a carrier oil in a small spray bottle for scrapes and boo boos
🍋1-2 drops onto your dry brush for body brushing
Use on your skin at night time, so there is no bother about sun sensitivity.

Lemon Essential Oil: Clarity, Focus, and Upliftment for Mind, Body, and Soul
Lemon essential oil is like a ray of sunshine in a bottle, bringing clarity, focus, and joy to both the mind and heart. Its bright, citrusy fragrance clears away confusion, uplifts your spirit, and helps you feel centered and ready to share your most precious thoughts. Lemon sharpens the mind, improves focus, and is especially helpful for tackling learning challenges or clearing self-doubt. It’s a gentle nudge that says, “You’ve got this!” Whether you’re feeling stuck, mentally tired, or overwhelmed, Lemon restores energy, confidence, and a playful, positive outlook.
On a deeper level, Lemon is a spiritual cleanser, offering clarity that connects us to both the earthly and the divine. Its aroma deepens meditation, allowing prayers to take flight and helping us embrace life’s bittersweet moments with grace. Lemon represents the fruitfulness of the earth and reminds us to see the sweetness in life, even during challenges. It enables the entire psyche to react to love—both human and divine—with openness and joy. Pair this with the affirmation: “My energy is vibrant, and my spirit feels alive with possibilities,” and let Lemon uplift your mind, body, and soul.
