Benefits of Using Citrus Oils-Young Living Essential Oils
I want you to close your eyes and remember the feelings that you experienced when you walked into a kitchen….
….where someone was peeling
…an orange
….or grapefruit
….or tangerine
…..or some other citrus fruit.
Do you remember the feelings?
Were your feelings of happiness?
Were they uplifting?
Did the aroma put you in a positive mood?
Did you just feel good?
You smelled the oils that come from the rind of the fruit. These oils are the essential oils of the fruit that are distilled by Young Living.
Several single essential oils belong to the citrus family.
They are:
- Bergamot
- Citrus Hystrix also known as Kaffir lime
- Grapefruit
- Lemon
- Lime
- Mandarin
- Neroli
- Orange
- Tangerine
Each one of these essential oils have some of the same qualities and unique qualities.
Same qualities:
- Uplifts mood
- General feeling of happiness
- Relaxes and calming
You can mix these oils together or use them as singles.
Using the oils:
- Add 2-4 drops of one or more oils to a glass of water
- Add oils to the palms of your hands, rub together and inhale
- Place a drop or two of the oil on your skin
- Diffuse in home for a fresh, clean, uplifting feeling
- Add several drops to your food, enhances the flavor of the food
Caution!!! Citrus oils are photosensitive, which means that the area of your skin where you placed the oil is very sensitive to the sunlight. So place your citrus oils on areas of your skin where the skin does not get direct sunlight exposure. When exposed to the sunlight, you skin will turn a grey color.
My favorite ways of using the oils are diffusing and drinking them in my water.
I add several drops of one or two oils into my water throughout the day.
♥♥ The taste is wonderful! ♥♥
