Some ways to use doTERRA Lemon Oil:

doTERRA Lemon Oil can be used Aromatically, Topically, and Internally. Here are some simple ways to incorporate it into daily life:

Caution: Like all citrus oils, Lemon oil is photosensitizing. Avoid direct sunlight or UV rays on areas where the oil has been applied topically for at least 12 hours. Always dilute before applying to the skin.

Aromatic Uses:

• Diffuse to create a fresh, uplifting atmosphere and promote clarity and focus.

Internal Uses:

• Add a drop to a glass of water or tea for a burst of flavor and natural cleansing. (Oils should not be taken internally by children.)
• Add a few drops to sparkling / still water or tea for a refreshing twist.
• Use in the kitchen for baking, marinades, or anywhere lemon zest would be used.

Topical Uses:

• Add a drop to your favorite evening exfoliating scrub to give your skin a refreshed, healthy-looking glow.

Cleaning & Household Uses:

• Add a few drops to a spray bottle of water to clean tables, countertops, and other surfaces.
• Clean fruits and veggies by adding 1-2 drops of Lemon oil to a sink full of water and letting produce soak before rinsing.
• Add a few drops of Lemon oil to olive oil to clean, protect, and shine wood furniture. (Be sure to do a spot test first.)
• Use on a rag to remove stubborn sticky residue, crayon, or marker from surfaces.
• Add a few drops to hand soap and dish soap to help cut through grease.

A few of my favourite Lemon Oil combinations:

• Lemon + Frankincense oils applied topically to the chest or soles of feet ease congestion and support a healthy immune system in infants and toddlers (dilute heavily).
• Lemon + Lavender + Peppermint are amazing together for seasonal and environmental threats. Diffuse, apply topically to the chest, or take internally in a veggie cap (See also doTERRA TriEase Capsules)
• Lemon + Easy Air (Breathe) Respiratory Blend in a diffuser to support focus and concentration and when you want to support the respiratory system. 
• Lemon + Lemon Eucalyptus is an uplifting and fresh blend that smells great and helps to deodorize the air after cooking strong smells.
