Favorite Ways To Use doTERRA Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon essential oil is a wonderfully versatile oil.  It should be included in every Mom’s essential oil toolkit.  I became hooked on doTERRA Lemon when my kids were tiny. We didn’t get out of the house often, and it got to be dreary to cope with.  

So I would put Lemon essential oil into the diffuser and diffuse away.  We noticed that while diffusing Lemon,  everyone was just in a happy mood.  My own mood felt positive and uplifting.

Suggested Ways To Use Lemon Essential Oil From DoTERRA

• Take internally to assist with seasonal respiratory discomfort.

Use Lemon Oil For Purification

Lemon is known for having purifying properties.  From your household air to household surfaces,  and your own body,  this oil is a great choice.  To purify the air,  diffuse.  For household surfaces,  rub on with a rag and some warm water.  For your body,  use internally.  Use Lemon oil for purifying power.

Lemon Oil Supports Healthy Detoxification

doTERRA Lemon essential oil will aid your body in a gentle detox.  The best way is internal usage. The easiest way is to add a drop or two of doTERRA Lemon (or another citrus oil) to your water.

Note: I only suggest doTERRA brand oils for ingestion. That is because of the purity and quality and transparency of the company.

Next time you fill your water glass,  add a few drops of pure doTERRA Lemon essential oil.  

I love the way that lemon oil tastes.  Like lemonade,  but without the sugar.  You should drink a glass or two of water with added doTERRA Lemon oil daily.

Use Lemon Oil For Energy

Lemon essential oil may be used for healthy energy.  You can diffuse or use it internally for this benefit!  My favorite recipe is 2 drops each of Lemon and Grapefruit essential oils in a large glass of water.  Drink instead of coffee in the afternoon when your energy begins to lag.

Use Lemon Oil For Mood

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?  Just don’t want to do something?  Grab your doTERRA essential oil diffuser and put in 5 drops of Lemon essential oil.  Experience the magic within minutes.  Use Lemon oil often to uplift your mood.

Use lemon oil as a gentle respiratory support oil.  doTERRA lemon is especially helpful when choosing essential oils safe for small children.  I would comfortably use diluted Lemon oil topically.  Or diffuse for even an infant to soothe respiratory irritations.

Lemon Essential Oil Benefits The Digestive System

You can use Lemon oil for a digestive benefit,  too!  It naturally cleanses the body and aids in digestion. Which makes it the perfect natural solution to digestive discomfort.

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.

Maintain Already Healthy Heart & Circulation

Lemon oil helps maintain an already healthy blood pressure.  Use lemon oil to maintain an already healthy blood pressure by taking a few drops internally in a capsule.

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

Lemon Oil Supports Throat Health

Because of those wonderful purifying properties,  lemon essential oil supports throat health.  Use your lemon essential oil by applying topically to the throat.  You would also benefit from putting the lemon in a glass of water and drinking it.  You could swish it around or gargle it for an added support.  Include OnGuard for an extra boost of throat support.
