Lemon essential oil is one of my favorite scents! I remember one time, Superman and I were both dragging after a bad night’s sleep. I put a drop of lemon essential oil into the palms of our hands and then we both took a couple big whiffs. It was like getting a shot in the arm! It smells amazing, and has some pretty awesome uses as well!
1. Use 1–2 drops of lemon essential oil to remove gum, oil, grease spots, glue or adhesive, and crayon from most surfaces.
2. Have an itchy bug bite? Put a drop of lemon essential oil on it, rub it in and reapply again if needed.
3. Mix 1-2 drops of lemon essential oil with baking soda and honey for a natural acne free face wash.
4. Add a few drops of lemon essential oil to olive oil to clean, protect, and shine wood finishes.
5. Add lemon essential oil to your morning tea or breakfast shake for a refreshing pick-me-up.
6. Add several drops of lemon essential oil to a chicken marinade for a delicious dinner.
7. Mix lemon essential oil, baking soda and coconut oil and rub on your teeth for 2 minutes and then rinse for a natural teeth whitener.
