Lemon
Why I Drop Lemon in My Water- Everyday
...because, it's delicious!
So, I was chomping at the bit to get my starter kit of oils in the mail. I counted shipping days, refreshed my 'track shipment' page constantly and just basically stalked my front door, waiting for our UPS man to deliver the goods. It was a busy night- cleaning up toys, scrambling to get dinner together- I abandoned my post at the front door and completely forgot about the pending delivery- life happened. Then, I heard the signature "ding- ding- ding- ding" of the doorbell that only means, you guessed it, a UPS delivery!!! I did the only thing that seemed rational. I called Erin. She turned me on to the oils and, while neither of us is an expert, she has been using Young Living oils for a little while now and so I needed her direction. I had been so excited to get these oils but I didn't know how or where to start. Her direction was simple. Her immediate instructions were simple- "Take out the lemon and just smell...Then get a tall glass of cold water and put 2 drops in and drink it." I've never smelled lemon like this. Not juice. Not fragrance. It's pure, cold pressed from the rind, 100% therapeutic grade lemon essential oil. It's delicious and I drink it everyday.

Lemon for Wellness
Lemon has hundreds of uses and is known as 'The Cleanser'. We use it in our water to support digestion, improve concentration, boost immune function and to rid our bodies of stored toxins. It's so subtle and refreshing, there is really no reason not to drink it everyday. We also use lemon on our 20 month old for his slow digestion. I mix 2 drops of lemon and 4 drops of peppermint to about 1/4 cup of coconut oil and rub into the bottoms of his feet and his tummy. This, along with Young Living's DiGize essential oil blend and Young Living's Life 5 probiotic, has supported his digestion naturally!!
