We’ve just added Green Lemon essential oil to our range. It really does have a very different scent to our standard lemon oil. You can find out why in this in-depth blog post. I’ll take you on a refreshing journey and tell you all about the benefits and spiritual aspects of this wonderful oil.
Green does not mean a different variety of lemon
Green lemon oil is extracted from the same lemon as the yellow variety. The difference is that the fruit is harvested whilst it is still unripe. As a result, the oil has a fresher, greener and slightly sharper scent.
Just like lemon oil, this oil is also extracted from the peel by cold pressing. This ensures that the volatile aromatic compounds are preserved as much as possible, resulting in a vibrant, fresh oil. Green lemon oil is often described as fresher and greener than ordinary lemon oil.
This oil is rich in limonene, a natural compound responsible for its fresh citrus scent. Limonene is the subject of extensive research due to its cleansing and antioxidant properties.
The spiritual properties of Green Lemon
Green Lemon symbolises renewal, clarity and a fresh start. The energy of this oil feels like opening a window in a stuffy living room. The old, heavy energy is allowed to escape, creating space for something new. It is therefore a lovely scent to use for an energetic cleanse. If you’ve had a tough day, experienced a conflict or simply need an energetic reset, this is the scent for you!
The same applies to mental clutter and restlessness in your mind. When you feel as though you’re stuck in old stories and feelings, this scent brings greater clarity and space to your mind. Green Lemon also helps you gain a clearer perspective and greater focus when you’re dealing with worries and doubts.
Green Lemon can also help you see life in a more optimistic and playful light. It brings a sense of light-heartedness and curiosity. And this curiosity often makes it easier to take a step forward in life when you feel as though you’re stuck in a rut.
Green Lemon and Aromatherapy
In aromatherapy, Green Lemon is often used to create a fresh and positive atmosphere. It can help to combat mental fatigue. Feelings of heaviness, tiredness and listlessness are alleviated. When you need to concentrate on your work, Green Lemon is your go-to. A few drops in the diffuser at the office works a treat, I can tell you 😉 It’s a refreshing and uplifting scent.
Green Lemon and the Chakras
If you’re interested in the chakras, you can use this essential oil to support specific chakras.
Solar Plexus Chakra
The frequency of Green Lemon oil helps to boost self-confidence, decisiveness and personal strength. When you’re feeling insecure or find yourself in a situation where you could do with a bit of extra strength, this oil offers wonderful support. Sometimes, past experiences may have dented your self-confidence. Use the oil to rebuild your self-confidence.
Heart chakra
This fresh scent helps to create space for forgiveness. By taking a fresh look at the situation, you can let go of the negative and open yourself up to positive energy once more. The scent also helps you to be more open to receiving and giving love. And this includes self-love.
A ritual with green lemon oil
Start your day off right by adding one or two drops of Green Lemon to a diffuser. Sit quietly for a few minutes and ask yourself: “What can I let go of today to make room for something new?”
Let the fresh scent remind you of a clean slate and new possibilities.
TIP
Thanks to its fresh scent and degreasing properties, lemon oil is widely used in natural household products. You can also give it a go yourself by adding some Green Lemon Oil to your natural household products.
Please note: As Green Lemon is a cold-pressed citrus oil, it may be phototoxic. Avoid direct exposure of the skin to sunlight or UV radiation after use. Always dilute the oil thoroughly before applying it to the skin.
