Lemon is another versatile oil that you will want to have on hand at all items. Its classic citrus smell will add brightness and cheer to your environment. Since the scent of lemon has long been used in cleaning products, it will provide a space with a crisp, fresh feel.
The lemon is thought to have come from an area of southeast Asia. Genetic research believes it was a hybrid of a bitter orange and a citron. It was first introduced to Italy in the early 2nd century but wasn’t widely planted until the 15th century. It was brought to the Americas by Christopher Columbus and spread quickly.
Lemon Vitality can be used in recipes in places where you could use lemon zest or juice. It is excellent to give dishes that bight splash of lemon without having to keep fresh lemons on hand at all times. A glass of water or a cup a tea can be taken to the next level with a few drops of lemon. Just be sure to use a glass or metal container as lemon will eat through plastic and styrofoam (ask me how I know).
Regular Lemon oil has some great uses as well. The cleaning properties of lemon have been widely known for centuries. Try a drop of lemon to remove glue residue from glass. Apply a to the skin to reduce the appearance of blemishes and to sooth the skin. It is great for eliminating odors. Adding a few drops to hand soap is great for removing food odors, especially fish.
