Prior to the discovery of the many wonderful properties of lemon oil, lemons served an ornamental purpose. Lemons have been used throughout history and prized for their color cleansing properties, flavor, and health benefits.
Oil Description
Lemon essential oil is one of the most-used oils with the widest range of uses. Lemon can help support many body systems and is a powerful cleanser inside and outside of the body. Lemon is an excellent, non-toxic, low-cost cleaning solution for your home. The pleasant, uplifting scent of pure, lemon essential oils, is invigorating and can boost your mood.
Cautions
Photosensitive – avoid sun exposure 8-12 hours after application (apply topically on bottoms of feet to avoid exposure). Use with a carrier for sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor’s care. Do not put oils directly in your eyes (oils can drip into eyes – if this happens, flush with fractionated coconut oil, not water). Do not drip oils into the ear canal. Avoid sensitive areas.
