Lemon Oil Does All That? Say What?

     Lots of household products have the smell of Lemon. Why do you think that is? Not only does it have good cleaning capabilities, cuts grease, but the smell evokes good feelings, uplifts and makes the chore at hand less daunting. Notice the next time you walk into a house cleaned with a citrus smelling scent. You feel lighter, awake and a bit happier. 
     The problem is that the majority of the scents used in products is concocted in a lab of synthetic chemicals and not the real thing. Although it smells good, most cleaning supplies are not good for you. In fact, most have very caustic and dangerous chemicals and are toxic to your respiratory system as well as your skin. Read your labels. You may be shocked.
     What does that have to do with Lemon oil. Not much except the all important smell. One drop of Young Living Lemon oil is a powerful little answer to many type stains on clothing, especially grease, pen marks, just about anything with a grease base. Put several drops of lemon oil in a spray bottle of water with a tablespoon of vinegar and you have a non-toxic, good cleaning solution that does no harm, except to the grime your getting rid of. 
     Run out of your Goo Gone? No fear. Just as you would use it, put a drop of lemon oil on area and rub until the problem is gone. 
     Why do most people add lemons to their water at restaurants and home? First, because it gives water some flavor and its refreshing. Second, and you may not know this, lemon is very acidic, but when it reaches the belly it transforms into alkaline thus making the stomach a happier place. I wonder if it's good for cleaning gunk off counters and floors, could it also be good for cleaning our bodies internal pipes? Research. 
     If I don't have peppermint on hand, a drop of lemon on my thumb, put to the roof of my mouth and sucked off a couple times in an hour soothes any occasional upset stomach.
     When the trees and plants are starting bloom, or during  when seasonal changes, I find it useful to diffuse a couple drops of peppermint, lavender and lemon together. Not only does it smell wonderful, it works. I never leave the house without a rollerball bottle of this blend. I just never know when I will NEED it. 
     Lemon essential oil contains a powerful constituent called d-limonene. It would be worth your time to do a Google search on it. 
     What have you used Lemon oil for? I'd love to hear from you.
