LEMON Essential Oil
Lemon is known as a powerful aromatic and internal cleanser. It also cleanses the air and uplifts your mood… We could all use that right?
It can also be used throughout your house as a non-toxic cleaner.
Invigorating, warming and enhancing come to mind when I think of the smell of a lemon.
Lemon essential oil can be used aromatically topically, internally and can be used topically with no dilution.
Please note: Each essential oil has different uses and not all can be used internally or topically

I love having my Lemon Essential Oil available because the winter months on our homestead we can't always get out of our location and lemons themselves will not keep all winter. Also because of our lifestyle we do not have the need to run to town very often so even keeping them on hand in the summer months can be tricky in that we run out of them before they would spoil so my 15ml bottle will last me a long time and provide great health benefits.
If you feel you will be ordering a lot of oils, consider receiving them at a discount. Feel free to email me at any time at oils@trayerwilderness.com.
Thanks for sharing all these great uses for lemon EO. I would be interested in the dish soap and kitchen cleaner recipes.
I would definitely be interested in both lemon essential oil dish soap and kitchen cleaner. Thank you for all the useful information!
