Oil Spotlight: Lemon
Lemon
Lemon essential oil is so refreshing. Not just does it smell that way but its refreshing and cleansing to the mind, emotions, and body too. It is cold pressed from the rind so you don't have to worry about it being acidic either.

Night and day difference within 24 hours of using lemon essential oil topically on chest for some nasty congestion. My little had that mucus type cough that would keep him up all night. We applied lemon, along with frankincense and breathe to his chest and feet. Within 24 hours his cough almost completely went away. Not only that, but the cough that he did have left was so much better, and cleaner if you will. Siberian fir is another great cough buster oil. I pull that out when we have those pesky coughs always adding lemon oil for its amazing cleansing properties too.
