D-limonene in Citrus Essential Oils

I love my Young Living citrus oils, Lemon, Grapefruit, Orange, Tangerine, and Lime!  I use my Lemon EO

(essential oil) for cleaning (a few drops mixed with water), taking gooey stickers off surfaces, fighting infections and in recipes.  I call Lemon my "sunshine in a bottle" and it has been known to lift depression.  A friend of mine found it reduced gout symptoms for her husband. 

Grapefruit EO helps create a feeling of satisfaction,  reduces hunger, helps the body release fat cells.  Tangerine EO has helped two people I know with vertigo, is delicious on a fruit salad and is wonderful diffused in a room.  Lime EO is great in guacamole and other recipes.  All the citrus oils are refreshing in water and encourage me to drink more.  They are anti-viral and have been known to  help to boost the immune system.

In addition to these uses, all the citrus oils are high in d-limonene which has been documented to help with memory retention, higher performance and greater accuracy.  Studies have also indicated that d-limonene has been shown to dissolve gallstones, relieve heartburn and constipation, and fight tumors and cancer cells.

 Check out the scientific study below to learn more about the benefits of these wonderful citrus oils.  Young Living is the only company that I would trust for purity and providing a "living" oil with all the therapeutic properties. I'll discuss this in another post, but if you'd like to try a few citrus oils, contact me or go to www.youngliving.com and use my ID#1196107 to order a bottle or two.

I am sure you will love these citrus oils!
