When suffering from indigestion, cramps, upset stomach or acidity, simply add drops of lemon oil to your water. It also works wonders in reducing heartburn.

If you are like me and are very conscious about what gets into your stomach first thing in the morning, then simply add two drops of lemon oil to your water to cleanse your kidney, liver and consequently your entire digestive system.
Insect Repellent
Mixing lemon oil with peppermint and eucalyptus is an effective way to repel insects such as ants and mosquitos.
Immune system
I didn’t know that a mere lemon has the power to stimulate my white blood cells so that they increase my body’s ability to fight off diseases. When you add a drop of lemon oil to peppermint oil and apply at the bottom of your feet, you can reduce fever.
Disinfectant
If you need a good cleaning agent in the house with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, then lemon oil should be your pick. You can also use it to clean your body, your dishes, your clothes and even your metal surfaces. When combined with vinegar, lemon essential oil makes your house spic and span.
Taste Enhancer
For and enhanced aroma and taste to your day to day food, simply add lemon oil. You can put it in softened butter, fish and steamed vegetables. You can also add, lemon oil to sweets such as cakes, cookies, meringues and drinks bringing out an enhanced taste.
Hair/Nail care
Strong, healthy and shiny hair , then use lemon oil. I also use it to take care of the dandruff on my daughter’s hair. If you are someone who doesn’t like to artificially highlight your hair, simply add a few drops of lemon oil to a spray bottle of water and spritz hair so that when you go outside your hair will have highlights naturally. You can also use lemon oil to make your nail cuticles soft and restore the health of your nails.
Asthma/Allergy
I have also found lemon oil to be helpful for me as someone who is asthmatic. When I inhale the aroma, it clears my nasal passages and sinuses enabling good air and normal breathing to take place. To prevent an allergy attack, you can also add 3 drops of lemon, lavender and peppermint oil to your feet, behind the ears or neck daily.
Gum, label and crayon remover
When gum has somehow gotten onto your hair or carpet, simply use lemon oil to remove it. To add on to this, when you have sticky residue from labels on jars and bottles, apply lemon oil to remove it. The big one for me, is for all of you with those naughty pre-schoolers who enjoy using crayon on your walls, simply apply lemon oil, your wall will be as good as new.
