Lemon essential oilInstead of purchasing standard household cleaners for surfaces and anti-bacterial cleaners, you can create your own all-natural and safe version of these products by filling a plastic spray bottle with water and adding some unadulterated essential oils. Yes, it is that easy to do!

How to Make Your Own Lemon Spray Cleaner

First, you will need a high quality essential oil, one that is unadulterated and of superior grade (such as Young Living Oils) will be the only type that will provide the results you want to achieve.

Combine 2–5 drops of lemon essential oil with water in a 4 oz. spray bottle filled with water.

Shake the spray bottle well, and your homemade cleaner is ready to spray!

Use this spray to clean and sanitize surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom.

This simple solution is extremely economical, yet it cleans and disinfects as well as, and often times much better than, any commercial cleaner on the market.

This spray can also be used as an air freshener to kill, not mask, bacteria and odors in the air!

Cost of Lemon Oil

  • A 15ml bottle of Lemon Oil costs $10.50 wholesale / $13.82 retail
  • A 15ml bottle contains approx. 250 drops
  • Your cost per drop is 0.042 cents per drop wholesale / 0.056 cents per drop retail
Even if you are a retail customer, your homemade Lemon Oil Spray will cost you less than 30 cents per 4 oz. spray bottle. Clearly, this is an extremely cost efficient way to get an effective  antibacterial, disinfecting cleaning product that is 100% safe for you, your family and pets, and safe for the environment!
“I have been making all of my own household cleaning products and air freshening products for over 25 years and have saved myself a small fortune. But mostly, I have felt amazingly good that I am playing a significant role in protecting the environment. I will never in my lifetime go back to using store-bought cleaners again, it just doesn’t make any sense to buy and use them.” ~ Evelyn

Please keep in mind that some of the oils, if used directly, may stain some surfaces, such as linoleum. So do a test spot first to determine. I personally have never had an essential oil stain any surface in my home, but do check ahead of time to make sure.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Therapeutic-grade essential oils can give us a wide range of emotional and physical emotional benefits at the same time. The effects of aroma therapy are far-reaching, providing us with benefits not found in lesser products.

The fragrance of a therapeutic essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan.

When any scent or fragrance is inhaled, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they are trapped by olfactory membranes that are protected by the lining inside the nose. Each odor molecule fits like a little puzzle piece into specific receptor cell sites that line a membrane, known as the olfactory epithelium. Each one of these hundreds of millions of nerve cells is replaced every 28 days. When stimulated by odor molecules, this lining of nerve cells triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the gustatory center (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the amygdala (where emotional memories are stored), and other parts of the limbic system of the brain.

Because the limbic system is directly connected to the parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, therapeutic-grade essential oils can have profound physiological and psychological effects. The sense of smell is the only one of the five senses directly linked to the limbic lobe of the brain, our emotional control center.

Which Therapeutic Essential Oils Provide the Greatest Benefit

The most refreshing of the oils are the citrus oils, such as: Lemon, Orange and Grapefruit, and the conifer oils such as Spruce, Pine, and Balsam Fir (Idaho).

These essential oils are best used in a diffuser, worn in beautiful aromatherapy jewelry during the day, or applied topically with 1 drop essential oil mixed with 1 teaspoon V-6 Massage Oil.Aria and TheraPro essential oil diffusers

Refreshment can also come from relaxation and deep rest, this can be assisted by using  Lavender, Clary Sage, or RutaVaLa essential oils alone or in combination. To use place a couple drops rubbed on the soles of the feet, or a drop in the palms and rub on your pillow before retiring.

Non-Chemical Solutions to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Picture of bed bug enlarged and actual size

I cannot recommend or promote the use of any type of chemical to address a bed bug infestation because there are so many kinds and an equal number of ways to handle them. I personally don’t use chemicals due to their toxicity to other living things in my home and in the environment; besides all chemicals are simple in their compound make up which means (much like we’ve seen with the over-use of antibiotics) it won’t be long before the pest becomes immune to the chemical(s) and we have a super-pest on our hands… which is quite possibly the reason why we’re seeing bed bug infestations all over the place. If you feel that you must use chemicals to treat bed bugs, hire a professional, please don’t use chemicals sold in the stores as they are toxic and have been shown to be ineffective.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Air fresheners are a huge business. We all want our homes, cars and workplaces to smell fresh and clean, vibrant or relaxing.  So, when we’re shopping and smell a fragrance like vanilla, or one that reminds us of our childhood home or garden, instinctively we reach for it and put it in our cart, because the smell made us happy, or maybe relaxed.  Not once do we stop to read the list of ingredients in that scented candle or spray air freshener. After all, if it says “vanilla” or “lavender”, we expect we are in fact smelling real vanilla or lavender.

Sadly, nothing could be farther from the truth.

If you are not using pure essential oils, like Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils   to freshen up your room, by default you are using a synthetic air freshener, and, unbeknownst to you, you are inadvertently putting your health at risk from one of these very concentrated sources of poisons in your home.  This is because some of the chemicals needed to make the products effective are harmful. The problems are compounded when the products are mixed.  Far from freshening the air in your home, they just interfere with your ability to detect smells or simply cover them up, all the while adding considerable toxic chemical indoor pollution. http://www.mcs-america.org/airfresh.pdf.  In 2002, EPA researchers testing air freshening units that plug into electrical sockets determined that when the fragrance chemicals in these products react with common indoor air pollutants they produce serious health hazards. These chemicals include toxic substances such as benzene derivatives, pinene and  limonene, aldehydes, phenol, and cresol.

Before I get into this article, I’d like to remind everyone that our skin is an organ, and it is the largest organ in our body.  Additionally, a great portion, 83%, of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies.  This includes chemicals we spill on ourselves or put our hands into, etc.

You clean and you clean and you clean, every day, every weekend, because we have been taught that a clean home will help keep us healthy. Because we clean so thoroughly we believe that the cleaner our home is the healthier our home is, and therefore, we are.

Then, one day we overhear a snippet on the 6 o’clock news, and we realize that the different cleaners we’ve been using in our home are most likely toxic, cancer causing and hazardous to our health, the one thing we were trying to achieve!!!!

We, John Q. Public, believe that our government and Medical monitoring agencies have out best interest at heart, and will protect us and keep us safe from harm.  Sadly, that it not the case many times.  Many of the household cleaning products we use in homes are actually health hazards.

The sad but factual truth is that many ingredients in our everyday common household cleaning products that we trust to be safe are absolutely harmful to our health. As consumers why would we want such products around us, our families, especially our children, and our pets?  I believe that this continues to occur because our monitoring and protective agencies bank on that fact that most consumers are not educated in, or aware of the hidden dangers and severe health issues, including cancer, that these popular household cleaning products present to our health. Additionally, most of us are not aware as to how pervasive, chronic, long term and life threatening these health threats are to our families and pets.  Additionally, even if you do read the label, non food products do not have to list the chemicals they use in the processing to make the chemical that you are reading the label of!

Every day we strive to live a healthy, happy and balanced life, to do the right thing by our children and family because we care about our health and our world.  Yet, right under our noses, Big Business is completely undermining our efforts to get and stay healthy by polluting our indoor air environment with toxic chemicals known to cause a multitude of health problems, including cancer.  They trick us into thinking we are making a healthier choice by adding a key word to their product like “natural”, or an ingredient we perceive to mean it’s safe and healthy like “orange” or “lemon”, etc.

DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU!

Adding Orange to poison still makes it poison.

Adding 1 “natural” ingredient to poison still makes it poison.

Here are some basic facts most people are not aware of:

FACT:  Within 26 seconds after exposure to chemicals, in this case cleaning products , traces of these chemicals can be found in every organ in our body.

FACT: According to theAmericanCollegeof Medical Toxicology, use of household cleaners containing toxic chemicals should be discontinued whenever possible.  Read the rest of this entry »

Chris Packer, a Young Living farm manager, with Gary Young checking the worm grow beds to see the growth rate; the finished worm castings are mixed with compost for fertilizer and foliage feed for the plants grown on the Young Living farms, the plants that produce essential oils for us. This is just one  sustainable and organic practice that makes Young Living a top quality organic operation.Young Living Farm Worm Casting Beds

Why something like worm beds and other practices are important to know is because over our lifetime what we do today greatly determines our health in the future, which can save money in health care costs. First, we need to know the nuts and bolts, what has changed, what’s being done, and what we can do about it. Here are some examples that can help us make better choices in selecting which company(s) produce foods and products that we can feel good about buying. Let’s start with something Dr. Mercola writes to bring things into perspective:

Dr. Mercola writes;

“[one example] is Stonyfield Farm yogurt, which abandoned its organic farm in New Hampshire long ago and now gets its milk in powdered form. Yes, you read that correctly:

Powdered milk exported from 9,000 miles away in New Zealand.

You can bet your bottom dollar making powder out of milk is one of the worst things you can to do to it after pasteurization. Nearly all of the biologic value of the milk is removed.  Read the rest of this entry »
