Description:

Originating in China, the Citrus limon tree, and its fruit, quickly spread throughout all the ancient world. It was established in the New World in the 1400s, arriving with Columbus. Today, Italy is still one of the best sources for Lemon oil. The fruit has long been associated with freshness and cleanliness; and now, many products are advertised as “lemon scented” to entice buyers.

Lemon oil, as with most citrus oil, is not steam distilled, as are most other essential oils; instead, it is cold pressed (expressed) from the rinds (peels) of the Citrus limon fruit, yielding an oil with a clean, bright, fresh, citrus aroma, high in the chemical compounds of d-Limonene and a- and l3- pinenes. Cold pressing preserves lemon oil’s delicate nature and potent properties.

Like all pure essential oils, Lemon has a complete chemical profile, just as it did in nature. Among its chemical constituents, one of the most impressive is d-limonene, which has been extensively researched for its antioxidant benefits, in helping to ward off free radical damage to the cells. Due to its high limonene content, Lemon is a powerful antioxidant, that can help ward off free radicals.

Uses for Lemon Essential Oil:

• Diffuse to support healthy respiratory function.
• Add 2-3 drops Lemon oil to a spray bottle of water, to cleanse and purify tables, cutting board, counter tops and other surfaces.
• Use as a great furniture polish. Simply add a few drops to olive oil, to clean, protect and shine wood finishes.
• Use on silver, and other metals, as a great remedy for the early stages of tarnish.
• Mix 6 drops of Lemon oil and 6 drops of the cleansing oil blend in a spray bottle, along with distilled water, shake well and spray into the air, to help freshen the air in the bathroom.
• To remove gum, oil, grease spots or crayon, rub with 1-2 drops of Lemon oil.
• To clean and increase the shelf life of fresh fruit, fill a bowl with cool water and 2-3 drops of Lemon oil. Drop your cleaned fruit into the water and stir. Be sure all surfaces of the fruit contact the lemon water. If you have an apple, and only want to eat half of it at that time, you can also put a drop of Lemon oil on the part you want to save. It will prevent oxidation (browning) of the fruit, and adds a really nice flavor to the apple.
• To cleanse and purify your dishcloth, soak it overnight in a bowl of water with a drop of Lemon oil.
• Rub a drop of Lemon oil on your hands, after using a public bathroom.
• Put 10-15 drops of Lemon oil in each gallon of carpet cleaning solution for fresh smell in the room. Mixing several drops into baking soda and sprinkling it over the carpet before vacuuming is also very effective.
