How It Works
Studies indicate that lemon essential oil may help with feelings of low mood, anxiousness and stress, potentially by modulating the nervous system and influencing brain activity related to emotional processing.
Research also suggests that lemon oil may stimulate brain function and attention, particularly in those with age-related cognitive decline, possibly by enhancing synaptic density and areas related to memory and spatial navigation.
Inhaling lemon oil can help ease feelings of stress and anxiety. Lemon oil contains active compounds, like limonene, that interact with brain pathways to promote a sense of calm.
For stress relief and to elevate your mood, rub 1-2 drops of lemon essential oil in the palm of your hands or apply to your wrists.
Lemon oil's fresh citrus scent is also great for mental stimulation and providing added energy. Just place 3-4 drops of lemon oil in a diffuser or add several drops to a spritzer bottle of water and "mist" the air.
Lemon oil also provides considerable antioxidant protection, supports respiratory health, stimulates immune defenses, and can inhibit the growth of harmful foreign invaders.
In addition, lemon oil can be used topically to promote healthy skin. Lemon oil contains antioxidants and vitamin C that may help fade scars, dark spots, and uneven skin pigment. It also acts as a gentle exfoliant and natural skin toner to clear away dead skin cells and clean pores.
NOTE: Lemon essential oil, though useful, is uniquely phototoxic, so care needs to be taken when exposing skin to sunlight after a topical application.
Lemon oil also provides a burst of freshness and remarkable cleaning ability for a variety of household uses.
Use lemon essentail oil in the kitchen for extra-fresh cleaning power. Lemon oil has been shown to combat unfriendly foodborne and spoilage organisms.
You can apply lemon oil directly to your dishcloth or sponge to sanitize it and keep it smelling nice.
Rubbing lemon oil into cutting boards can sanitize and freshen without harmful chemicals.
Or, mix lemon oil with water and white vinegar in a spray bottle to make a safe bathroom and whole--home cleaning spray.
Lemon oil is also wonderful for carpet care and laundry to give your items a fresh scent.
