Lemon Essential oil

Lemon's  many applications make it one of the most useful essential oils to have on hand. The fresh, zesty aroma is cold pressed from the fruit peel of  lemons grown in Argentina and the United States. Lemon is one of our favourite oils to use when someone is fighting a cough or a cold.  It is beautiful diffused or applied to the feet regularly.

• Lemon oil is high in the natural chemical constituent d-limonene (google it!), a powerful antioxidant that supports the body’s natural detoxifying systems.
   
• Lemon oil has refreshing and cooling properties making it an instant pick-me-up.
   
• Diffuse daily for a clean citrus scent.
   

In Aromatherapy can be used topically or inhaled to reduce the symptoms of cold & cough.
