Hello, everyone, it’s Dr. Sam. I’m pleased to welcome you to today’s EyeClarity podcast. Today, I’ll be addressing a single question, and I’m thrilled to delve into the topic of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is a profound interest of mine, one that I’ve been deeply immersed in for numerous years. In particular, I’d like to spotlight lemon essential oil. Lemon is an incredibly versatile essential oil, but cautious application is necessary. When using any essential oil for the first time, it’s crucial to introduce it to your system gently and with care. This is a practice I emphasize in my classes. Begin by experiencing the aroma of the oil, allowing it to engage with your olfactory and limbic systems. This will provide an immediate inclination towards acceptance or rejection.

For example, if I were to present rose oil, its scent is often associated with the rose flower and evokes a sense of heart-opening. On the other hand, an essential oil like spikenard, with its shamanic essence, might carry a scent reminiscent of dirty socks. Despite this, it holds value in the dream world, inducing relaxation. The key is to discern whether the initial response is positive or negative. Turning to lemon, a citrus aroma that’s generally favored, you’d similarly smell it initially and evaluate your reaction. Next, I recommend conducting a patch test on a less sensitive area of the skin, such as the inner part of the wrist. This minimizes any discomfort that might arise, as opposed to applying it directly to more sensitive regions like the face or private areas, which can lead to temporary discomfort. If you ever experience a burning sensation from an essential oil on your skin, applying coconut oil can promptly alleviate it.

So, having completed test number one for lemon—smelling and patch testing—the next step is determining suitable areas of application. Almost any essential oil can be applied to the soles of the feet. For adults, two to three drops of oil on each sole, twice daily, is advisable. With children, the dose varies. For instance, one drop for younger kids and up to four drops for older ones. Lemon essential oil boasts several benefits. It possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties while supporting the liver, spleen, and kidneys, functioning as a detoxifying agent. Thus, it’s a valuable addition to any gentle detox regimen, consistently applied to the soles of the feet. Moreover, lemon oil has a positive impact on mood, elevating emotions and combating feelings of negativity. When facing a challenging day, a little lemon can go a long way in boosting your spirits.

Lastly, there’s a common query about carrier oils. Initially, my aromatherapy training advocated for direct application of essential oils on the skin. However, as I began practicing, I observed varying skin sensitivities. Consequently, I’ve adopted a more flexible stance. Organic carrier oils, such as jojoba, aloe vera, or sunflower, can be blended with essential oils. They serve as compatible carriers, diluting the essential oil’s potency. While this might necessitate a slightly higher quantity of drops, experimentation is key. Intuition also plays a vital role in aromatherapy. A strong intuitive sense guides dosages—whether it’s one or two drops, once or twice daily. Typically, twice daily is a solid guideline for adults, with dosages ranging from one to four drops based on the oil’s nature.

Allow me to recommend a reputable company, Stillpoint Aromatics. Although I receive no financial incentives, I hold them in high regard. Their founder and CEO, Virginia Joy, ensures the utmost integrity in sourcing essential oils from biodynamic farms. Stillpoint Aromatics, located in Sedona, stands as a trustworthy option.
