Lemon Essential Oil

Digestive and Immune System Booster
Air Cleanser

(From Essential Oil Reference Guide, Alan and Connie Higley)
Extraction method:  Lemon EO (and all citrus) is obtained from the RIND of the fruit.   While most essential oils are obtained by distilling plant material through low pressure and temperature, citrus is pressed from the peel. It is cold pressed and requires 3,000 lemons to produce a kilo of oil!
Properties: Anticancer, antidepressant, antiseptic, antifungal, antioxidant, antiviral, astringent, breaks down petrochemicals, is invigorating, refreshing and a tonic.  (For the research these statements are based on--refer to the guide.)
Daily use: DIFFUSING:  uplifting emotionally and helps clean the air of virus, fungus, bacteria, and any petrochemical residues in the air (for example--from painting, new carpet, flooring, air pollution, etc).  PUTTING A DROP IN WATER: helps break down any petrochemical residue in water--add to GLASS only, boost immune system through antioxidant properties.
CLEANING: Use for cleaning fruits and veggies--cleans residue from stickers as well as killing germs, virus, bacteria.  The NEXT post goes over a way to do this effectively.
PUMPING GAS!:  Keep Lemon EO in the car and use after pumping gas.  Gasoline is petrochemical based.  The handles of pumps are also full of germs.  Using Lemon EO straight (1-2 drops) on your hands after pumping gas helps break down any petrochemical and kill germs/virus/bacteria.  If you get gas on your hands--use a drop or 2 every minute until you have neutralized all of it.  
Safety Data:  DIRECT APPLICATION not best use of Lemon EO.  Can cause skin sensitivity for some people.  Also, sensitizes to sun--so if you do put it on your skin avoid direct sun contact for 12 hours.
