Lemon Precautions

      Lemon should NEVER be used directly on the skin. The oil should first be blended with a carrier oil (candles, specially blended massage and bath oils, bath products etc... are considered diluted). This oil should be used in moderation as although it is nontoxic it may cause some skin irritation, photosensitivity most notable in expressed oil, or minimum concern in steam distilled oils. Lemon is a photosensitizer (increases the skins reaction to sunlight making it more likely to burn) so it should not be used when exposed to sunlight or tanning beds. Be careful when using for babies, children and the elderly with consulting your physician.

      With all essential oils, never use on or around newborns, if you are breastfeeding, have a breathing problem, taking medications, on a strict medical treatment plan by your doctor for an ongoing medical condition, consult your physician.
