Oil of the Week: Lemon

Lemon essential oil is one I use absolutely EVERY SINGLE DAY, even multiple times a day, for a variety of reasons BUT even I was surprised to learn something new about lemon after some deeper research, in relation to our card of the week!

Lemon (Citrus limon) is an essential oil derived from the cold pressing of the lemon peel. It is a top note so it's uplifting citrus scent will dissipate quickly.

Physically, lemon can provide relief to symptoms associated with depression, colds, flu, and act as a detoxification agent. I add it to my water every single time I fill my cup! Not only does it make it taste great, but I have felt it also aids in digestion and relief from bloating.

Emotionally, lemon is a stimulant to the brain and senses....it will just help you feel happy! It can also provide help with focus and concentration, especially when diffused in your workspace. (think wfh and kids on zoom)!

Energetically and spiritually, is where I learned some new things about lemon. It is said that it can help promote self and spiritual awareness. That correlates with our need to accept and receive this week....really take a look inside and out at what the Universe is trying to tell us.... concentrate on it, evaluate it, and internalize it! It works directly on the throat chakra and helps enable us to speak our truths!

On a side note do you ever have sticky labels you have to get off, things stuck to your skin, etc....a little lemon oil takes it all right off!! You are welcome in advance for that tip!

Have a good week!
