Lemon

 

Lemon oil is a deliciously fragrant essential oil that is useful for a variety of purposes. Lemon oil is a well-known anti-oxidant. It offers great antiseptic properties, making it an excellent aid for common colds, bronchitis, asthma, flu and other respiratory issues.

 

The high vitamin C content in lemon oil is beneficial for boosting the immune system of the body and fighting against different contagious infections and illnesses. Lemon is also popular for improving digestive processes.

It does however, have some photo-toxicity properties, therefore, some people may experience irritation if they are using lemon oil and are exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.

Tea Tree

Tea Tree oil is widely used as a primary ingredient in many beauty products. Tea tree oil extract has numerous positive properties as an essential oil. It has antifungal, antiseptic and astringent qualities, making it a popular additive for many soaps, lotions and shampoos.

Tea tree oil is perfect for fighting bacteria and germs. It is commonly used in oily skin and scalp preparations and helpful for treating skin problems such as dandruff and acne. It is perfect for dabbing on superficial cuts, scratches and sores to kill or prevent infection.

If you are working with the pure essential oil, be sure to dilute it first as it can cause burning and irritation to the skin if used undiluted. You can mix it with some carrier oil or water to make it gentler for your skin.
