When life feeds you lemons…make lemon essential oil!
Well, you can certainly make lemonade too, if that floats your boat.
But, you may want to get lemon essential oil after understanding its benefits.
Speaking of which, here they are:
- Stress Reliever
Need to reduce your stress, but don’t want to see your doctor and endure appointments and physicals for a prescription?
No problem! Lemon essential oil has you covered. Not only does it relieve anxiety and stress, but it also helps your mind clear up if you feel dizzy, exhausted, or fatigued.
It naturally moves your mindset to a more positive place, helping you let go of negative emotions. It may also help you feel more alert and focused.
You might even diffuse it into the air in your office or home to improve your productivity.
- Get Rid of Nausea – Even for Pregnant Women
If you’re pregnant, you’re wisest to avoid essential oils entirely because they haven’t been studied on pregnant women extensively.
However, lemon essential oil is one decisive exception.
A 2014 randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial (the kind of design that delivers the most conclusive results) found pregnant women who consumed lemon essential oil had far less nausea and vomiting than those who did not.
- Nourishes, Protect, and Rejuvenate Your Skin
Free radicals found in your cells cause damage that leads to aging. Lemon has a strong anti-oxidation activity which greatly reduces the damage these free radicals cause.
So, that leads to you looking better and feeling younger. We can’t say how much. But we can say it does happen.
Lemon essential oil also reduces acne, blisters, insect bites, grease, oil, warts, cold sores, and even cuts and wounds.
And published research at the National Institute of Mental Health confirms these effects.
After all this, lemon practically sounds like a miracle breakthrough for your skin.
It may not go that far, but it’s certainly helpful.
- Reduce Bad Breath and Whiten Your Teeth
Does lemon really do this too?
It does!
Lemon has strong antifungal and antibacterial properties, and so much so it can be used to prevent tooth decay.
Perhaps lemon’s bitter taste has historically kept it out of human mouths long enough such that no one ever discovered these benefits.
But, they’re proven. And again, they’ve been published at the National Institute of Mental Health.
…And those are just some of the benefits of lemon essential oil.
Which sounds most appealing to you?
