I have been getting more and more intrigued with essential oils lately as Lizzie has really taken to them. I use them to help her sleep at night and I can definitely see a difference.
So when Morgan, over at @ProseccoandProjects, asked me to join her LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL challenge – post 10 days of using lemon essential oil – I said why the heck not.
Here are 10 ways to use essential oils and some recipes/DIY to go along with it:
- LEMON WATER: Add a few drops to your water in the morning. When taken internally, Lemon oil can also naturally cleanse the body and aid in digestion.
- DIFFUSE: Diffusing Lemon essential oil will also help cleanse and purify the air and surfaces in your home
- DESSERT: That’s right I said it – You can add a sweet and zesty punch to your favorite treats and dessert recipes when you add a little Lemon essential oil. When used properly, Lemon essential oil often adds a sweet, sugary taste to desserts, without the processed sugar or other alternative ingredients. For example, Lemon essential oil makes these Blueberry Lemon Muffins a delectable treat.
- JEWELRY: Just put a couple drops of Lemon essential oil on a cotton ball, and rub on the tarnish to bring back the natural beauty of your metals.
- DIY GLASS CLEANER: Try this easy and effective glass cleanser.
- DIY DISH SOAP: Try this DIY dish soap with lemon essential oil.
- KALE CHIPS: Try this DIY recipe for kale chips.
- DIY HAIR PRODUCT: Love beach wave hair? Try this DIY Salt Spray.
- LAUNDRY Add a few drops to your dryer balls or to the final rinse cycle to freshen up your laundry.
- FOOT CARE: Use a few drops of lemon oil to help treat callouses, corns, and bunions.
