5How to Use Lemon Essential Oil
In general, it is safe to apply lemon essential oil topically or diffuse it. For topical applications, you first need to dilute it with a carrier oil. Common carrier oils include jojoba, sweet almond, coconut, black seed, or argan. Next, do a patch test on a small skin area to see whether it causes allergic reactions before applying to other parts. For diffusing, just put a few drops of lemon essential oil into the diffuser and inhale the steam. Keep in mind to choose a well-ventilated space and limit the session to no more than 30 minutes.
