Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon Essential Oil is wonderfully refreshing to add to water or tea, to put in the diffuser to purify the air, or aid in concentration.   Lemon EO works primarily with the digestive, immune, and respiratory systems, and is a tonic for supporting the nervous and sympathetic nervous system and promotes overall healthy function of the body.

It is a fantastic stain remover on clothing, great in natural window cleaners, is a natural goo-remover for labels, and is fabulous for various culinary endeavors. Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rind of the lemon, rather than steam distilled from the acidic pulp, in order to preserve its most powerful constituents. Lemon essential oil is high in d-limonene. Research limonene for an understanding of the importance of this element.
