20 Healthy Uses of Therapeutic Grade Lemon Essential Oil

Citrus Lemon has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function. It may serve as an insect repellent and may be beneficial for the skin. CAUTION: Citrus oils should NOT be applied to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light within 72 hours so if you're planning on going outside after applying any the Lemon Essential Oil (Citrus) I would highly recommend that you wear long sleeve shirts or cover the area(s) were you have applied the Lemon Essential Oil.  Here are my 20 healthy recommendation on using Therapeutic Grade Lemon Essential Oil:

1.   Use 6 drops of Lemon oil & 6 drops of Purification in a squirt bottle mixed with distilled water to use in the bathroom as an air freshener.
2.   Use 1-2 drops to remove gum, oil, grease spots or crayon.
3.   Use 1 drop of Lemon oil to add flavor to baked goods or beverages.
4.   For homemade lemonade, in a blender mix 2 drops of Lemon oil, 2 tablespoons of honey and two cups of pure water.
5.   Rub a drop on a corn, callous or bunion mornings and evenings.
6.   To clean and increase the shelf life of fresh fruit, fill a bowl with cool water and 2-3 drops of Lemon oil. Be sure all surfaces of the fruit contact the lemon water.
7.   Add 2-3 drops to water and spray counter tops to sterilize them.
8.   Alkalize your body by adding 3-4 drops of Lemon Essential Oil to 1 glass of water in the morning and before going to bed at night.
9.   Add a drop of Lemon oil to your dishwasher before the wash cycle.
10. Rub a drop of Lemon on your hands after using a public bathroom.
11. Use a paper towel soaked with several drops to sanitize bathroom fixtures, especially on the toilet seat.

12.  Place a drop of Lemon Essential Oil on cold sores, herpes or other mouth ulcers to lessen pain and aid healing.
13.  Put a drop of Lemon oil on bleeding gums caused by gingivitis or tooth extraction.
14.  Put a drop on oily skin or acne to balance sebaceous glands (oil glands).
15.  Rub several drops of Lemon oil on cellulite to improve circulation and help eliminate waste from the cells.
16.  Rub two drops of Lemon oil topically daily to clear athlete's foot.  Apply the Therapeutic Grade Lemon Essential Oil daily until the athlete's foot clears up.
17.  Rub several drops of Lemon oil on varicose veins to improve circulation and relieve pressure on the veins.
18.  Rub a drop on a wart morning and night until it disappears.
19.  Rub on butcher's block or other cutting surfaces.  Lemon is a very effective disinfectant and germ killer.
20.  Put 10-15 drops of Lemon oil in each gallon of carpet cleaning solution to help pull out stains and brighten the rugs.

I also want to highlight when I recommend certain amounts or drops of the Essential Oils I am referring to Young Living Essential Oils.  If you decide to use another companies Essential Oils you will have to increase your dosage as I am sure their quality and grade will not be at the standard of Young Living Essential Oils.  I also can not guarantee the effectiveness my recipes if you choose to use the different company's oils.  As the distillation process for manufacturing the oils will be different as well. Our competitors use the stems and leaves for making their essential oils whereas Young Living uses the flowers of the plants.  The difference is night and day in terms of quality and their medicinal or therapeutic affect. 

I'm a Certified Master Herbalist and I can tell you that there are Essential Oils and then there are Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils. The two grades are worlds apart. Whenever possible I recommend Therapeutic Grade Essential oils for healing, nitrifying and treating the our bodies.

DIY: Natural Sunscreen Protection For You & The Kiddos!

Here my secret recipe (well not so secret anymore) for getting that optimum sun protection.  Your skin is the first line in defense with regards to your body. The human skin is the outer covering of the body. In humans, it is the largest organ of the integumentary system.

If you're reading this blog post you may or may not already know the negative and/or harmful effects of chemically produced sunblock or sunscreen lotion.

The Environmental Working Group has compiled a list of 700 name-brand sunscreens along with the toxic chemicals they contain. You'll find the list at http://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/

As the EWG reports, many sunscreen products contain cancer-causing chemicals that get absorbed right through the skin:

Some sunscreens absorb into the blood and raise safety concerns. Our review of the technical literature shows that some sunscreen ingredients absorb into the blood, and some are linked to toxic effects. Some release skin-damaging free radicals in sunlight, some act like estrogen and could disrupt hormone systems, several are strongly linked to allergic reactions, and still others may build up in the body or the environment. FDA has not established rigorous safety standards for sunscreen ingredients.

As you can see I've listed the basic ingredients for you detailing exactly what you need to mix together and create a wonderful Sun Protection using Young Living Therapeutic Essential Oils that will not harm your body, but rather enhances it and makes your skin complexion radiant, glow, and vibrant at the same time.

Remember because it's oil based it will not wash off easy when you or your kids happen to hit the waves. ALL of these Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils may be used without any harmful or toxic effects on the body, giving you the profound reason why these Essential Oils should be part of your everyday usage.
