There are so many amazing uses with lemon essential oils. It is such a happy oil that you will use every single day. I use lemon multiple times a day. It is one of my all-time favorite essential oils. Here are a few of my favorite ways to use it!
Eliminates Odors
Lemon is a great oil to use to eliminate odors. It does not just mask the smell, it gets rid of the odors all together.
If your garbage disposal starts to smell, run it with the water running for a little bit, then add a few drops of lemon down the drain and continue to run it and the smell should start to disappear!
You can put a couple drops on a cotton ball and place it in areas that tend to get a little stinky in your home. Put it in the bottom of your trash can, in your sock drawer, in the bottom of your shoes when you aren’t weaning them. Any place that you would like to freshen up, add some lemon.
Clean With It
Lemon is a great oil to clean with. Add it to your cleaning products (especially Thieves cleaning products) or use it straight on your countertops and tough surfaces to clean to get that hard to clean grease off of your stove or pots and pans. It is safer to use than any cleaning products with harsh chemicals. Lemon is a great start to making your home safer, non toxic and chemical free.
This oil is also a natural goo gone. Put a drop on a sticker that will not come off and rub it around the sticky and watch it fall off with ease! It is truly amazing!
Put In Laundry
For fresh laundry and to make your clothes smell extra clean, add a few drops of lemon to your laundry. You can put in a few drops in the washing machine as your clothes go through the rinse cycle. My personal favorite way is to put a few on my wool dryer balls to completely replace my dryer sheets. They are so much cleaner and healthier for your body than dryer sheets are (especially for women)
Cook With It
The Young Living Lemon Vitality Oil is FDA approved to ingest. Add a drop or two to your water in the morning to help you wake up and give your water some flavor. Lemon essential oil gives you all of the properties and vitamins of the entire lemon, not just the juice, so you get more out of the essential oil than you would by squeezing a regular lemon.
You can also add it to anything you cook or bake. Add it to cookies or cake to add a splash of lemon flavor, or add it to a recipe that calls for lemon, sdd it to your salmon as it cooks to make it a little tastier. The options are endless!
Diffuse Lemon For A Pick Me Up
Add a few drops in the diffuser to replace your chemicals, to purify the air. Diffusing lemon also helps concentration and provides more energy. This is a great oil to diffuse if you are working from home, doing school online or trying to keep the kids on task while doing homework. Add some peppermint in with the lemon if you are in extra need of some energy. Here are a few diffuser blends you can start with today!
