Detailed Transcript:

Hey Beloved, welcome back! has left even seasoned oilers realizing they somehow missed it. Fresh new Lemon Eucalyptus has patiently waited to be noticed, and now it’s turning heads! Neither a blend nor a citrus, as the name might seem to imply, it’s actually the single essential oil of the Lemon Eucalyptus tree. This oils seems a bit of a misfit in my oil collection because it’s left in the category for bug repellent but it’s so much more than that!

Lemon Eucalyptus is actually a nickname for the lemon-scented gum tree (which can grow 30 ft in 2 years!) also goes by the alias blue gum tree. Yes, that’s a lot of scents and colors to sort out, so let’s just call this new friend Lemon Eucalyptus (Corymbia citriodora) and move forward with the understanding that it is a thing apart from Lemon or Eucalyptus as we know them!

One thing Lemon Eucalyptus has in common with the more familiar Eucalyptus oil is they both hail from trees – albeit different ones – native to Australia. But the lemon eucalyptus tree also thrives in Kenya, where bees and butterflies love to buzz around these blossoms for their delicious nectar! What makes Lemon Eucalyptus oil valuable to us is the cleansing, uplifting abilities it has. This oil is excellent for diffusing on its own for an anytime dose of invigoration, but it also blends deliciously with scents of mint, fir, wood, citrus, and florals.

Emotionally, the aroma of Lemon Eucalyptus can envelop the room with a mood of protection and stimulation. Prep your favorite diffuser to get this powerful, earthy blend pumping.

Strong and Pure
2 drops Arborvitae
1 drop Clary Sage
1 drop Lemon Eucalyptus

You can use Lemon Eucalyptus to deodorize basically anything and everything that begs for lemony freshness and a sense of renewal. Or in defeating the odors that torment you most such as bathroom or toilet odors, pet odors, or any other foulness coming from your family. This next blend below should get you off to a fast start in defeating the odors that torment you most!

Unite and Conquer
2 drops Lemon Eucalyptus
1 drop Clove
1 drop Wild Orange

If you don’t have a diffuser handy, depend on the trusty organic method of experiencing Lemon Eucalyptus as a drop in the palm of your hand. An intimate way of getting familiar with any new aroma, simply rub your hands together, close your eyes, and inhale.

Additional Usage Tips!

● Add to a spray bottle to cleanse surfaces and refresh any room. This is a great one to add to your bathroom spray. It’s incredible at eliminating odors!

● Diffuse to encourage a positive environment with a bright, fresh scent.

● During your skin care routine, add one to two drops of Lemon Eucalyptus oil to your favorite skin cleanser.

● Add 2 drops with carrier oil over chest and lungs, rub in and inhale remainder from cupped hands to clear your airways, calm cough, and promote easy breathing.

If you are needing protection outdoors, or feeling bugged by outdoor pests, then Lemon Eucalyptus is your best fried! It has developed quite a reputation for encouraging unwanted creatures to buzz off. YES! In fact, it’s 97% effective against mosquitos – lasting up to 4 hours due to its chemical profile.¹

You can mix a few drops with water in a spray bottle and spritz onto the skin before heading outdoors.

Or you can combine a drop or two with a helping of Fractionated Coconut Oil and apply the mixture to tired muscles in need of a gentle, soothing boost.

Oh, and researchers have been studying what can disrupt biofilm of candida — Lemon Eucalyptus CAN!!! This is a BIG deal! When we are stressed, or consume alcohol, processed foods, or antibiotics, “bad” bacteria in our gut can rage out of control and created havoc on our systems. We might experience less energy or seasonal distress on the body. If you are trying to find balance in your body, Lemon Eucalyptus can actively disrupt and destroy the biofilm of candida albicans (yeast)2 that surrounds and protects it like an M&M candy shell. Dilute 2-3 drops with fractionated coconut oil and apply topically over abdomen 2-3x per day.

As you get to know the unique scent of Lemon Eucalyptus, lemony but not citrus, you’ll surely find your favorite times and places to depend on its uplifting freshness. Now that you have some starting points, it’s time to take off with Lemon Eucalyptus!

“I have been plagued with a very bad, persistent irritation cough for a good two weeks. It’s been so bad I haven’t been able to do any of my recordings. No other symptoms than a silly cough and later some crackling at the top of my right lung, but I threw everything I had at it, all the usual immune and respiratory blends, Eucalyptus essential oil, diffusing, rolling, inhalations, the immune bomb, THE.LOT. NOTHING was shifting the gunk in my lung, but really since I had no other symptoms I didn’t want a doctor to stick me on steroids. I knew there had to be something else I could try. Then yesterday I decided to apply ONE drop of Lemon Eucalyptus over my lung and drowned it with fractionated coconut oil because it was my first time using it. I reapplied it again in the afternoon, and now the crackling is GONE, and I’d say the cough is 99% gone. That’s TWO drops. One for each week I’ve been struggling. So yeah. If it’s available to you, get it!!” ~ Jacquline​

This is a free workshop and totally no pressure! My goal is simply to educate and empower you with the basics to help you understand the power of essential oils (because it just looks like water in those little bottles, right?!). We love our oils. They have become our go-to for almost the last decade as a first-line of defense in our home and I want to make sure that everyone knows they exist as a safer, cheaper, and more effective option!
