121 Uses for Young Living Oils: Lemon

Dear Friends,

This information comes from Young Living. I actually do most of these things myself. I cannot recommend Essential Oils strongly enough, both the single oils and the amazing blends. And yes, you can get the gel caps and ingest the single essential oils. Frankincense is especially wonderful to take internally. Lots of great information here generously offered by my sister Andrea Harris.

The Everyday Oils Kit was created by Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO) so that anyone could immediately use and appreciate the benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils.

Single Oils

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

Lemon (Citrus limon)

Peppermint (Menthapiperita)

Frankincense

Oil Blends

Thieves®

Valor®

PanAway®

Peace & Calming®

Purification ®

Uses: All single oils may be used as dietary supplements. All of the oils can be applied to the Vita Flex points on the feet, added to bath water mixed with YLEO’s Bath Gel Base, applied topically or used with body and foot massage. All of the oils may by diffused. Diffusing allows the oils to stay suspended in the air to reduce bacteria, fungi and mold. It also freshens the air with natural fragrances, eliminating the need for synthetic, harmful air fresheners. Using the oils aromatically is an excellent way to stimulate the brain in many positive ways, as discussed below.
