For those who follow my Facebook page,  you know I enrolled in The School for Aromatic Studies, a aromatherapist certification program.

 

As part of that program, we focus on 24 single essential oils and their uses, benefits and safety. Over the next weeks, I’ll be sharing about each of these oil as well as different blends and products for you to try.

LET’S START WITH LEMON. (This AMAZING oil is in the Premium Starter Kit).

Lemon is Uplifting, cleansing, helps to release, relieves anxiety.

Lemon has constituents that can be considered antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, astringent, anxiolytic, depurative, detoxifier, digestive, diuretic, escharotic, febrifuge, hepatic, hypotensive, immune enhancer, stomachic, tonic.

Lemon can be helpful for:
Circulatory system: poor circulation, detoxing

Psyche and emotion: anxiety, clarifying, cleansing, refreshing, rejuvenating, expanding, uplifting, depression, dislike of exercise, limited communication skills

Subtle/energetic aromatherapy: Lemon is able to heighten consciousness and is generally activating, stabilizing, and calming during a potential emotional outburst due to its cooling, clearing, and refreshing effect. Lemon has the ability to dispel sluggishness and can help to clear negative blockages and revitalize energy.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: In Oriental medicine, lemon essential oil is cool and dry in nature and can be used to clear heat, dampness, and phlegm.

Lemon is great in cleaning products, as a room freshener or goo remover. It can also be used to remove greasy stains from clothing. It can be used in a salt or sugar scrub to invigorate the skin and aid in circulation and lyphmatic movement.
