🍋 CHILDREN AND ESSENTIAL OIL:
LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL BENEFITS

As always, I want to remind you that many essential oils available in the industry contain filler substances and contaminants that weaken the purity and power of the oil. However, dōTERRA knows that a pure bottle of essential oil has the potential to change lives; that’s why dōTERRA’s mission is to provide essential oils that are highly effective and free of additives and harmful contaminants. This is why the Fōx Fleet only uses dōTERRA essential oils for our family. Purity is important!  

Ready to learn more about Lemon essential oil?  🍋 Lemon can be used all three ways – aromatic (when you need a deep breath), topical (addressing a specific spot), and internally (whole body reboot).

Lemon is known for its purifying properties. Often used in cleaning products and air purifiers, this essential oil has distinct cleansing and deodorizing characteristics that make it a popular choice for cleaning surfaces and purifying the air. Lemon also has the ability to aid in digestion and support healthy respiratory function when taken internally. 

One of our favorite ways my family likes to use Lemon essential oil is by adding it to our water for a refreshing taste or as an alternative to sodas and sugary drinks.

My kids love the flavor but what they don’t know is that when taken internally, lemon essential oil can also naturally cleanse the body and aid in digestion.

Let’s talk about pictures with those price tags on the glass. You know the ones that are basically impossible to remove. No matter how hard you scrub with water and soap, there always seems to be a residue left behind. 😒 Or has your child decided to “decorate” a wall with stickers? Normally, these situations would mean hours of scrubbing for you, with remnants of a sticky mess still left behind. However, adding a little Lemon essential oil to a rag will help you get rid of these messes (and others like them) in practically no time at all. You can thank me later – ha! 😄 

Speaking of “decorating” our walls…let’s talk about the inevitable kids and markers.  I don’t know about you, but I thought I was prepared for that event. Then it happened, and I definitely was not!  The moment I walked in and saw black marker on my wall, I’ll admit I had to take a deep breath and look at the cute human in front of me that was proud of his artwork. 🫢 Enter Lemon essential oil.  I was able to add a few drops of lemon to a soap mixture, scrub a bit and my wall was as good as new. 

Remember I mentioned that Lemon essential had cleansing and preserving qualities?  Well, those qualities make it the perfect oil for maintaining your furniture. Whether your furniture could use a good wipe-down, a new shine, or a just a little TLC, there are several uses for Lemon essential oil when it comes to cleaning and preserving furniture. By adding a few drops of this essential oil to olive oil, you can create your own non-toxic furniture polish at home. When applied to furniture, Lemon essential oil leaves a clean shine, prevents fine wood finishes from drying out, and can replace lost moisture in antique woods as it penetrates worn finishes. 

Lemon is also useful for maintaining leather furniture. It takes a lot of work and special care to preserve a leather couch or leather chair, but Lemon essential oil takes a lot of the work out of it for you with its preservative properties. Use a Lemon oil-soaked cloth to wipe down your leather furniture to help preserve the piece and prevent leather from splitting.   

Lemon essential oil is a great remedy for the early stages of tarnish on silver and other metals. No need to throw out jewelry, silverware, or other household items that have started to tarnish—just put a couple drops of this essential oil on a cotton ball and rub on the tarnish to bring back the natural beauty of your metals. 

A major benefit of Lemon essential oil is its purifying properties, which makes it the perfect component for homemade cleaning agents. If you are worried about dirt and grime, this essential oil is the perfect solution for cleaning the surfaces of your bathroom and kitchen. 🧼

Add Lemon essential oil to a spray bottle of water and use it as a homemade cleaning solution when you wipe down your countertops, baby highchair, bathroom sink, or anything else that needs the purifying power of Lemon. To make the solution even stronger, consider adding a little vinegar. 

I use water and lemon essential oil to clean the hardwoods in my home. The beauty of a homemade cleaning solution made with Lemon essential oil is that it doesn’t include all the chemicals that store-bought cleaners have. So that baby can crawl on the floor or kids can help with chores and you can rest easy knowing that your cleaning agent won’t pose a threat to you and your family, because it is chemical-free! 

Now that we have your surfaces clean, let’s talk about diffusing lemon essential oil.  Diffusing Lemon will help cleanse and purify the air in your home. Whether you are trying to eliminate airborne odors, or just like to keep your house smelling fresh, bright, and clean, Lemon is an optimal choice for diffusing—on its own or in a diffuser blend.

 When diffused, Lemon oil provides an uplifting environment and promotes a positive mood. Due to the chemical makeup of this oil, it has been shown to help improve mood with an energizing and invigorating aroma. If you want to diffuse Lemon oil, use three to four drops in the essential oil diffuser of your choice.
