Lemon Organic Pure Essential Oil
Lemon oil can be used to increase circulation, support mood enhancement, and to counteract pain and inflammation. It has anti-bacterial and astringent properties making it a great household cleaner and also useful in skin care. It is an immune system booster and helps to protect the liver. Our lemon oil can be added to a diffuser or used topically in a carrier oil. This oil is phototoxic when used in a ratio greater than 12 drops per ounce. This oil should not be added to drinking water for ingestion, contrary to what you may have heard elsewhere. Essential oils are not water-soluble, and research has shown that ingesting high levels of d-limonene neat (undiluted) can cause irreversible damage to the esophagus, stomach lining, and liver with extended use. It is far more beneficial to add water-soluble lemon juice to flavor your drinking water (and uses WAY less lemons!).
Consult your physician before using essential oils if you are pregnant or suffering from an illness. All oils are intended for external use only unless under the supervision of a certified aromatherapy practitioner. It is recommended to skin-patch test before applying undiluted for any sensitivity. This information is not intended to replace the advice of medical professionals.
