Easy Natural Uses for Lemon Essential Oil

Did you know liver detox is one of the many Easy Natural Uses for Lemon Essential Oil? I have been struggling with skin issues my entire life. Sometimes my skin clears up, but I have always worried about it. Recently I was turned on to the idea that liver toxins come out through the skin and cleansing my liver would be a good idea to ensure a healthy body and healthy skin.

There are many ways to do a natural detox, but I already have had success using lemon essential oil. I have been using it in my green smoothies and have seen results in my gastrointestinal health. And there was a time I wasn’t drinking the smoothies and my GI issues seemed to return. I started drinking them again and now after a week, I am not having any GI issues. That’s just me, but I love my lemon essential oil!

How Liver Affects Skin Health

Ok, so basically your liver acts as a filter in your bloodstream and cleanses the toxins you are exposed to each day, and the waste products of metabolism that your body generates each day. If your liver can’t detoxify your bloodstream very well (imagine a clogged drain) toxins must find an alternative route to get out. Typically they end up exiting the body out the skin.

The more toxins, the more stress the liver endures and the more our skin suffers as an exit route for these toxins.

Do you have a dirty liver?

Here are some of the symptoms of a sluggish liver:

  • Headaches/Migraines
  • Acne/skin rashes
  • Poor tolerance to coffee, alcohol, smoke or fragrances
  • Brain fog
  • Indigestion after eating
  • Constipation, diarrhea or light or dark colored stools
  • Difficulty losing weight even with diet efforts
  • Pain in the lower right rib
  • Waking at night between 2am and 4am
