Lemon (Citrus limonum)

Resonance
Physical, Emotional

Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
Lemon brings clarity of thought, aids in logical thinking, helps us prioritize, and helps us connect cause and effect in our lives. Lemon is a good oil for study sessions, improving attention span, and problem solving. Lemon oil can bring a dose of reality to our thinking. It can help us analyze our resentments, decide if they are based on reality or not, and then help us let go of them—real or not! Lemon makes it easier to handle the stresses of life with a sense of humor.

Physical Aspects
Lemon essential oil supports the respiratory system and is useful for asthma, bronchitis, sore throat, sinusitis, and most other respiratory complaints. Lemon oil tightens smooth muscles and strengthens connective tissue throughout the body. Lemon oil can be used for a liver or lymphatic cleanse. After cleansing is complete, lemon oil can stimulate the pancreas and the entire endocrine system. Lemon is very helpful in passing gallstones and is said to induce labor when the baby is over due. Lemon oil can be used to purify water and leaves no unpleasant taste behind.

Aromatic Considerations
Lemon essential oil fills the air with a light, refreshing scent of lemons while it nourishes the nervous systems of everyone close by.

Application
Lemon oil should be diluted and applied to any area of the body. Since it helps dissolve cellulite, applying lemon to areas where cellulite has accumulated would be a good idea. Be sure to dilute to avoid irritation.

Lemon essential is photo-toxic. Avoid sunlight or UV radiation on skin to which lemon oil has been applied.

    Love this oil! I use it for cleaning, and diffusing in our air to just name a few things. Everyone in the house is MUCH happier and motivated with a little lemon diffused in the air in the morning. It provides such a lifted atmosphere, and works amazingly to get my motivation going. I is also wonderful to add a few drops to my coconut oil and apply as a hand salve.
