I am doing a series that tells all about the eleven Everyday Essential Oils that come included with the Premium Starter Kit. Definitely the BEST way to get started with essential oils in your home or as a business. The kit includes 12 oils, a home diffuser, and tons of samples and information. Click HERE to learn more about ordering this amazing starter kit! In this post I want to talk about Lemon Essential Oil and how I use it personally in my home and for my health.

Top 10 uses for Lemon Essential Oil:

1) Lemon Water: add to hot water in the morning the same way that people add lemon juice to their water in the morning
2) Concentration: diffuse in your office or home to help enhance your ability to concentrate and focus
3) Relaxation: rub some on your hands and inhale for relaxation
4) Fresh Breath: add a drop to your toothbrush for fresh breath
5) Seasonal Discomfort: many people combine lemon, peppermint and lavender and rub it on their feet during the spring
6) Cooking: substitute lemon oil for lemon juice in recipes, be careful because it is potent! (I read that one drop is equivalent to the oils from 20 lemon peels!)
7) Cleaner: use is in your homemade cleaners. Just make sure you use a glass bottle for your cleaner, we reuse these bottles and put a spray top on
8) Baking: this oil is delicious in baked goods! I use it in my Lemon Cake Cookies!
9) Polish: add to the oil you polish your wood with for a fresh scent (like Pledge!)
10) Candy Fix: I love to add a little bit of lemon oil and stevia to yogurt and make it taste like a lemon drop. It seriously kicks candy cravings in the rear!

*Note: to mix the oil with a carrier oil mix 2 parts carrier oil with 1 part essential oil. We commonly use this oil as a carrier oil.
