Let’s Get LEMONY: Kidz Paradize’s Lemon Essential Oil

With its amazingly fresh and refreshing citrus scent, lemon essential oils are one of the basic staples of many essential oil users. But beyond that scent that uplifts ones’ mood, the lemon essential oil is known to have many benefits and uses, genuinely making it a must-have in your essential oil collection.

Lemon essential oil is distilled from the peels of fresh lemons in a process known as steam extraction, and it can be used topically, diffused or infused. Whichever method you choose, you can be confident that you are extracting only the benefits from this highly versatile essential oil.

Benefits of Lemon Essential Oil

Did you know that lemon essential oil functions as a mood enhancer? Research and studies have shown that lemon essential oil can significantly alter one’s mood, especially for those suffering from depression. Studies have shown that the inhalation of lemon oil can decrease symptoms of stress and enhance attention and cognitive abilities. This makes it extremely useful, especially if you face pressure at work, if you have school-going aged kids who are busy preparing for exams, or if you want to unwind after a long, stressful day!

Lemon essential oils are also known to be effective at preventing unwelcomed insects. Many choose to diffuse it in their homes, especially during mosquito (or peak dengue) seasons, or even apply it topically on their skin (of course, we recommend you do that with a carrier cream or oil!). It might be a good idea to apply it before leaving your home for any outdoor activity, and if you use it with our carrier cream, you won’t have to worry about staining your clothes or clogging your pores!

Suffering From Morning Sickness?

Another everyday use for lemon essential oil is for expecting mothers suffering from morning sickness, which is unpleasant. Lemon essential oil is known to ease nausea and decrease the frequency and intensity of vomiting. This can be truly helpful, especially if you need to go to work or attend to your family and you want to keep that nausea at bay – diffuse the oil or apply it to your inner wrist or below your ears, or simply inhale it. However, we always advise our pregnant mummies to consult their doctor before using it.

Pregnant mummies, and of course, even those who are not expecting, can also use it for skin conditions, such as acne, warts and wounds even! Because it is an astringent and is known to accelerate healing, lemon essential oil can help clear away dead skin cells and promote wound healing.

Be Rid Of That Virus & Bacteria!

The lemon essential oil is also helpful in eliminating viruses and bacteria with its antibacterial properties. Many users of this particular essential oil have infused a few drops of this potent essential oil into the water and made their cleaning agents out of it. Whether you choose to use it as a floor cleaner or to wipe down desks and doorknobs, this formula can be easily created and stored in a spray bottle. You’ll have to shake it well before using it and start cleaning!
