Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rinds of lemons grown in Argentina and the United States, giving its aroma all the brightness of the freshly picked fruit. Cheerful, sweet, and nostalgic, Lemon oil can eliminate odors and infuse your entire home with its fresh, lemony scent when diffused.

Lemon oil has refreshing and cooling properties. Its fresh, citrus scent is an instant pick-me-up. It can be found in many hair and skin care products, as it help reduce blemishes and adds shine to hair. Be sure to avoid sunlight when applying to skin. Lemon can cause photosensitivity.

Young Living’s Lemon Vitality contains 68% limonene, a powerful compound offering a variety of health benefits that can be extracted from the peels of citrus fruits. Add a drop to tea, baking goods, yogurts, homemade preserves, vinaigrettes, marinades, and other treats. I use a couple drops in my water. It’s great to combine with savory foods such as chicken, fish, and vegetables. It enhances the flavor.
