Lemon Essential Oil – Uses, Benefits and More

How to Use Lemon Essential Oil

In general, it is safe to apply lemon essential oil topically or diffuse it. For topical applications, you first need to dilute it with a carrier oil. Common carrier oils include jojoba, sweet almond, coconut, black seed, or argan. Next, do a patch test on a small skin area to see whether it causes allergic reactions before applying to other parts. For diffusing, just put a few drops of lemon essential oil into the diffuser and inhale the steam. Keep in mind to choose a well-ventilated space and limit the session to no more than 30 minutes. [7]
