Testimonials of Lemon Essential Oil

Anxiety

I have been on Xanax for a few years. The doctor said it helps with pre-menopausal anxiety.  I did not want to be on any chemical drugs anymore. I started using Lemon, Lavender and Breathe and I have been Xanax free for three months.  –Tina H. Utah, USA

Allergies

I have had allergies for 35 years and I have tried everything to get rid of them. Four years ago I found relief getting a kenalog shot every March even though I knew it wasn’t a good choice for my body. This year I decided to try the 2 drops each of doTERRA’s lemon, peppermint and lavender. What a difference! No more shots and no more allergies! - Sylvia H.

Pain

My husband has had 9 knee surgeries and lately he has been complaining of knee pain.  One day I looked up in the modern essentials book what helps pain and inflammation.  I tried Lemon, Birch, Peppermint and Deep Blue.  He said these oils really help erase the pain.  He asks for Dr. Mom whenever he has knee pain or any pain! –Kate H.

Allergies

I have allergies and I’ve had allergies my whole life. 365 days a year I wasn’t able to breathe. I’ve had many Western treatments and many other treatments and none of those worked well at all. So I started taking Lavender, Peppermint and Lemon in gel capsules several times a day. That was amazing, but about a month later I started taking the lifelong wellness. Then I noticed I didn’t have to take the gelcaps so often. Now I just take the lifelong wellness and Slim&Sassy and it’s been wonderful! I’ve been able to keep it under control! –Chris R.

Allergies and sinuses

I first started using the oils for my sinus infections and allergies. At the time I was just using Lavender, but now what helps the most is rosemary, lemon, and melaleuca. I’ll actually put the oils on a Q-tip and stick it in my nose and that really helps. I have my son do that too and it’s helped with his allergies. –Jennifer L.

Nail Care

I have always had brittle and short nails, the Lemon has helped my nails to be stong and grow fast. –Julia S. Colorado, USA

Dental Care

I use mouthwash with lemon, peppermint and melaleuca. My gum recession has decreased; my gums are in better shape and the amount of plaque on my teeth has decreased–Jennifer E. Colorado, USA

Pink Eye

I had pink eye. I applied Melaleuca and Lemon essential oils. (I didn't have the Purify blend, but knew it contained Lemon and so I used Lemon in its place.)  I applied the oils just below my eyebrow and on the top of the bone just below the eye.  I also applied it the same way to the other eye to keep it clear of the pink eye.  I applied the oils every hour or two for the next two days and the pink eye had almost completely cleared.  I kept applying the oils on a less frequent basis until I my eye was completely clear. -Karren H. Nevada, USA

Cough

My sister in law Vicky uses essential oils in cough syrup, when her children get a cough she will get a teaspoon of honey and add one drop of eucalyptus and lemon or tangerine oil. She mixes it up and gives it to them a little taste at a time as they need it; she also puts two drops of Eucalyptus on the bottom on each foot. This works incredibly. Patty L., Arizona USA

Exercise motivation

When I really don't feel like exercising I inhale Lemon oil before I begin and the keeps me going and motivated. I will even put it the insides of my wrists and sniff while I exercise.-Kimberly J., Florida, USA

Ear Infection

I use a drop of lemon on the ear flap of a dog who was getting an ear infection (used 2 times and cleared up the symptoms) –Jennifer E. Colorado, USA

Fever

Just a quick testimonial about fevers and kids! My son had a fever of 103 and was just miserable lying around crying.  I got straight to work with peppermint and lemon.  I put peppermint on his forehead back of neck spine and feet along with lemon on his ears every two hours. I also put a cold rag on his forehead.  It took me one day, 12 hours and he was better and rockin’ and rollin’ the next day!  -Tracy L.

Sore Throat

Lemon oil (2-3 drops) placed directly in throat will knock our scratchy/sore throats out every time. –Bonnie S.

Mold

I have a front loader washer and if you do not leave the door open after washing it will get a musty smell. So I put 2-3 drops of lemon oil and purify in the soap dispenser w/ my usual laundry soap. After just ONE wash I noticed the smell was gone!!!! I will definitely keep doing that! Happy washing! -Joanne S.

Sore throats

I use lemon oil and hot water with honey and it makes my sore throats go away. –Lee T.

Stains on clothes

I haven’t worn this shirt in a long time because it had 3 grease stains on it. It occurred to me to try lemon oil and that stain came right out.  Nobody can see the spot when I can tell them where it used to be. It’s amazing! Patrick S.

Strep Throat

In one month 3 members of my family came down with strep throat. (My husband, me, and my niece who came to visit from out of town). In combining herbs, and acid water with Oregano, lemon, On Guard, and Melaleuca in a capsule 2 to 3 times a day, in a 2 day period, we were all healed with out any antibiotics. -Kimberly G.

Warts

I have had a wart completely disappear just from applying the lemon.  I also have a friend whose daughter has several warts.  While they are not completely gone yet they are definitely shrinking.  My husband's uncle is using the lemon on his planters warts and he has also noticed a difference.  Doterra's oils are remarkable. -Danette C.
