Lemon essential oil has become a must-have in our daily routine.
It's a true powerhouse when it comes to natural wellness, offering a wide range of incredible benefits for our overall well-being.
Our Top 4 ways we use lemon essential oil every day?
#1: Digestive Aid and Flavor
The morning starts with a couple of drops of Lemon vitality oil in a big glass of water! The citrus taste is crazy refreshing and helps you feel more alert to get your morning moving. If we get at least one tall glass of this goodness down right away, we’ve got a good start on my eight glasses for the day!
Yes, Young Living™ Lemon Vitality essential oil is FDA-approved for safe internal consumption. When taken internally, it can help support healthy digestion and may relieve discomfort caused by indigestion, gas, and bloating. It can also support your body in the natural detoxifying process.
Lemon Vitality essential oil is one of the oils I keep in my purse. We add it to our water and food, especially if we’re traveling.
Note: Make sure you drink from glass or metal, not plastic!
Did you know?
It takes about 25 lemons to make just one 5-ml bottle of lemon vitality essential oil!
#2: Immune Support
Lemon essential oil is high in antioxidants and can support a healthy immune system to help strengthen your body's natural defenses, keeping you feeling your best your-around. If you're adding it to your water (see #1) you're getting a fresh, antioxidant-infused drink to start your day.
You’ve heard us talk about our favorite seasonal relief rollerball mix before. One of the 4 ingredients is lemon. This blend goes on our sinus areas every morning, every night before bed, and as many times as we need it during the day. We roll it on the minute we feel any hint of unhappy sinuses due to seasonal conditions outdoors or indoor fragrances or chemicals!
Lemon can be used aromatically in a diffuser, taken internally, or applied topically to the skin to promote feelings of wellness. Adding a few drops of lemon oil to a carrier oil and massaging it onto the chest or feet can provide a comforting and immune-boosting experience.
Note: You should avoid direct sunlight or UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying to exposed areas.

It's in our laundry stain-removing DIY and so many other household DIY recipes for the cleaning ability while adding that special spring-like aroma.
Lemon essential oil can be used as a natural air freshener to eliminate unpleasant odors. Simply add a few drops to a spray bottle filled with water and spritz it around the room.
