Lemon is from the citrus family of essential oils. Citrus oils are known for mood uplifting properties. Feeling a little down in the dumps? Maybe your kids are having a cranky day?

Try my go-to recipe in “Tummy Comfort Tea With Fennel & Lemon“. I find it so soothing when my tummy is a bit uncomfortable.
For small children, I don’t recommend ingestion. Kids can enjoy the digestive benefits of Lemon essential oil without ingesting it. Apply topically to the feet, or dilute and rub onto the belly area.

You can also massage 2-4 drops of Lemon onto your skin to help improve circulation in that area.
