1. It smells great. Instead of running away from it, the aroma of lemon draws you in with its crisp, clean scent.
2. Lemon is polite. Even the most odor sensitive people don’t whine about lemon. 
3. It will help you clean your house. Use 1-2 drops of lemon oil to remove gum, oil, crayon marks or shoe scuffs. Add 2-3 drops with water in a spray bottle to cleanse and sanitize surfaces.
4. It will get you out of sticky situations. I keep lemon oil in my kitchen to remove the gummy residue left after removing labels from glass jars.
5. It helps you think clearly. Researchers in Japan found that diffusing lemon in an office environment resulted in 54% fewer errors.
6. Just like having close friends, lemon oil supports a healthy immune system. Lemon oil stimulates the immune system by increasing white blood cells.
7. It can provide first aid. I recently cut my finger. After several unsuccessful attempts to stop the bleeding, I remembered my lemon oil. The bleeding stopped as soon as the lemon oil penetrated the cut. Lemon oil is antiseptic, meaning it destroys and prevents the development of microbes.
8. It will kill bugs for you. According Jean Valnet, M.D., the vaporized essence of lemon can kill meningococcus bacteria in 15 minutes, typhoid bacilli in one hour, Staphylococcus aureus in two hours, and Pneumococcus bacteria within three hours. Even a 0.2% solution of lemon oil can kill diphtheria bacteria in 20 minutes and inactivate tuberculosis bacteria.
9. It adds flavor to your life. Young Living’s therapeutic-grade Lemon oil is a wonderful addition to baked goods and beverages. A few drops added to sparkling mineral water is a delight!
