Description

LEMON BENEFITS: Lemon is a versatile essential oil that can be used to enhance mood, improve digestion, cleanse toxins, stimulate lymphatic drainage, rejuvenate energy, purify skin, fight bacteria and fungi, freshen the air and clean your home.

LEMON INDICATIONS:

Helps Purify the Body

Lemon oil has a purifying, cleansing and protective effect on the body. It helps defend the body against harmful pathogens and promotes detoxification through the blood and liver. Lemon oil also stimulates lymphatic drainage. This helps the body cleanse itself of wastes and toxins. A 2016 animal study found that when lemon essential oil was given to rats that developed aspirin-induced acute liver and kidney damage, it was able to reduce the oxidative stress and damage to both organs. Another animal study tested the effects of lemon oil and other essential oils on the antioxidant state of organs in mice. When mice were treated with essential oils for six months, even at very low doses, they were able to reduce oxidative stress and maintain the structural integrity and functional activity of the organs. A mixture of lemon essential oil and ginger extract had the highest antioxidant effect on the liver and brain in mice.

Enhance Focus

Boost Mood

May reduce anxiety and depression symptoms

You may have noticed that when you use lemon-scented products for cleaning your home, you feel more relaxed or uplifted and in a better mood afterward. Of course, some of that might be the natural result of sprucing up your environment, but the actual scent of lemons probably plays a part in that calming feeling.

A 2006 study performed on mice showed that lemon essential oil was a powerful calming and mood-improving agent during three stress test experiments. The same study concluded that lemon essential oil was more effective at relieving stress than other essential oils such as lavender and rose. A small 2016 study found that lemon essential oil reduced anxiety among people after undergoing orthopedic surgery. There are promising indicators that diffusing lemon essential oil has an effect on alleviating some symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Can ease morning sickness symptoms

Nausea and vomiting are two of the most common symptoms experienced in early pregnancy. There may be reason to believe that lemon essential oil can relieve (or at least decrease) the severity of these symptoms.

In a 2014 study of 100 pregnant women, aromatherapy with lemon essential oil was found to decrease the levels of nausea and vomiting significantly.

Can make your skin healthier

Lemon oil is one of several essential oils that can kill harmful bacteria that can grow on your skin.

In a recent study, lemon essential oil was shown to be effective against strains of bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli. This makes a good choice for topically cleaning small wounds.

Other research, including a laboratory study conducted in 2017 and in vitro and in vivo research in 2018, has confirmed lemon essential oil’s effect against infection causing bacteria and may prevent skin inflammation.

It also has protective properties, such as antioxidants, that may brighten and preserve your skin tone. However, like most citrus oils, it can cause skin sensitivity when in the sun. More on this in a bit.

Can act as a pain reliever

Lemon essential oil is sometimes used in aromatherapy as a natural analgesic. The anti-stress and antidepressant effects of this oil may have something to do with how it helps our bodies interpret our pain without panicking.

2014 study done on mice showed that lemon oil aromatherapy changed the way the animals’ brains responded to painful stimuli.

To determine how lemon oil affects humans who are in pain, more research is needed.

May help you breathe easier and soothe a sore throat

If you have a cold or are experiencing a sore throat, lemon essential oil is a good home remedy to try.

Try setting up a diffuser with lemon oil to release its sweet, citrusy scent in your room while you get some rest. The calming properties of lemon oil can help relax both your mind and the muscles in your throat.

There isn’t a lot of clinical data that backs up lemon oil aromatherapy with calming the common cold, but we do know that the vitamin C and antioxidant properties of lemon juice are of benefit when you just need to breathe a little easier.

However, the process of extracting essential oil from lemons through steam extraction does not transfer vitamin C into the oil. There’s a remote chance that cold-pressed lemon essential oil may contain traces of vitamin C, but most of it ends up in the water during processing.

Helps you feel alert and concentrated

Lemon essential oil perks up your mood, but it also may work to boost your brainpower.

In a small 2004 study of fourth graders, students who attended language lessons in a classroom where lemon oil was diffused performed much better on their exams.

Another small study performed in 2008 concluded that aromatherapy with essential oils such as lemon could improve the cognitive function of people with Alzheimer’s disease.

May be effective in treating and preventing acne breakouts

Lemon oil is used for a variety of skin conditions

Relieves Nausea

If you are looking for a way to get rid of nausea, especially if you are pregnant and experiencing morning sickness, lemon essential oil serves as a natural and effective remedy.

A 2014 double-blind, randomized and controlled critical trial investigated the effect of lemon inhalation on nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. One-hundred pregnant women with nausea and vomiting were divided into intervention and control groups, with the intervention group participants inhaling lemon essential oil as soon as they felt nauseous.

Researchers found that there was a statistically significant difference between the control and intervention groups in the mean scores of nausea and vomiting, with the lemon oil group having much lower scores. This suggests that lemon essential oil can be used as a tool for reducing nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

A 2020 study evaluating the effects of aromatherapy on nausea and vomiting during pregnancy found that combining lemon and peppermint essential oils was effective in reducing mild to moderate symptoms, especially after two to four days of use. For the study, participants inhaled the aroma from cotton balls, but using a diffuser is another great way to use oils aromatically.

Improves Digestion

Lemon essential oil can help soothe digestive problems, including issues like gastritis and constipation.

A 2009 animal study published in Chemical and Biological Interactions found that when lemon essential oil was given to rats, it reduced gastritis symptoms by reducing the erosion of gastric mucosa (the lining of your stomach) and working as a gastro-protective agent against stomach legions.

Another 10-day, randomized control study sought to verify the efficacy of lemon, rosemary and peppermint essential oils on constipation in the elderly. Researchers found that those in the aromatherapy group, who received abdominal massages using the essential oils, had significantly lower constipation assessment scores than those in the control group.

They also found that the number of bowel movements was higher in the experimental group. The natural constipation relief among participants in the essential oil group lasted two weeks after treatment.

Nourishes Skin

Lemon essential oil benefits your skin by reducing acne, nourishing damaged skin and hydrating the skin. Lab studies show that lemon oil is able to reduce cell and tissue damage in the skin that’s caused by free radicals. This is due to lemon oil’s strong antioxidant activity and anti-aging effects.

A scientific review published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine indicates that lemon essential oil is also effective against skin issues like blisters, insect bites, greasy and oily conditions, cuts, wounds, cellulite, rosacea, and viral infections of the skin like cold sores and warts. This is because lemon oil’s antimicrobial compounds work to treat dermatological conditions naturally.

May Promote Weight Loss

Did you know that lemon essential oil may be able to promote the breakdown of body fat? Like grapefruit oil, one of the best essential oils for weight loss, lemon also contains d-limonene.

D-limonene is known to help support your metabolism and cleanse your lymphatic glands. This can help with weight loss.

An animal study published in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition found that when mice were supplemented with lemon polyphenols that were extracted from lemon peel for a 12-week period, their body weight gain, fat pad accumulation, and development of hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance were significantly suppressed.

Boosts Oral Health

Given that lemon essential oil has proven antibacterial and antifungal properties, it works as a natural remedy for many oral conditions, including oral thrush and bad breath. It can also be used to whiten your teeth naturally and prevent tooth decay.

A randomized controlled trial including 90 HIV/AIDS patients evaluated the efficacy of lemon juice in the treatment of oral thrush. Researchers found that the use of lemon juice for oral thrush was validated by its ability to treat the condition in an HIV-positive population.

Although citrus juices are known for their ability to cause tooth erosion after long-term use because of their acidic nature, essential oils do not seem to cause the same acid erosion. That said, study results do indicate that even citrus essential oils should not be used in mouth rinses for extended periods of time or as pre-brush rinses.

Relieves Cough and Stimulates Lymphatic Drainage

Lemon oil has antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, so it helps boost your immune system and fight respiratory conditions. It also serves as one of the top essential oils for allergies.

It’s one of the best essential oils for coughs because it benefits the lymphatic system. This protects you from harmful pathogens and reduces swelling in your lymph nodes.

Lemon essential oil has been shown to inhibit pro-inflammatory mediators, thereby soothing inflammation and potentially stimulating lymphatic drainage. This can help reduce the accumulation of fluids that can cause you to cough.

Works as Antimicrobial Agent

Studies show that lemon essential oil works as a natural antimicrobial agent because of two dominant compounds found in the oil, limonene and b-pinene. This makes lemon oil a powerful tool in cleaning and food protection.

Lemon oil can be used to cleanse your home of harmful pathogens, like bacteria, fungi and others. Using lemon as a natural cleaning product also keeps your home free of conventional products that are made with dangerous chemicals.

Research also shows that lemon oil can be used to help protect our food system, too. In a study testing the preservative effects of lemon oil, researchers found that lemon inhibited the growth of bacteria growth in minced beef meat.

Lemon essential oil successfully stopped the development of Listeria monocytogenes, suggesting that it plays a role in the prevention of contamination in our food sources. This is helpful for our food system because foods contaminated with bacteria like Listeria monocytogenesSalmonellaStaphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli have been reported to cause foodborne illnesses.

May Work as Anti-Tumor Agent

Animal studies show that limonene, a major component of lemon essential oil, has anti-tumor and chemotherapeutic effects. Oral feeding of lemon oil has resulted in significant regression of mammary carcinoma (a breast cancer) without any observable systemic toxicity.

Animal studies also show that using citrus oils containing limonene topically may also be a safe and feasible option for helping women prevent breast cancer, but more research is needed on this topic.

 

HOW TO USE LEMON: You can safely use lemon essential oil by diffusing it or applying it topically.

To diffuse lemon essential oil, place 3 or 4 drops in the diffuser of your choice. Make sure you’re in a well-ventilated area, and limit your aromatherapy sessions to 30 minutes.

To use lemon essential oil topically, mix it well with a carrier oil of your choice.

Test the mixture on a small, inconspicuous area of your skin, like your forearms, before you apply it somewhere sensitive like your face. If after 24 hours you see redness or irritation, don’t use the mixture.

To avoid skin damage, make sure you wash off lemon oil before exposing your skin to sunlight.
