Lemons are a stress-reducing super citrus fruit. Create your own lemon essential oil using the lemon peel, which contains potent stress-reducing oils. Add a few drops of this essential oil to water and place in a spray bottle for a relaxing spritz. Click here for a Lemon Facial Cleanser recipe.

Grate the outside of the lemon over a bowl.



Fill a small glass bottle halfway with the grated lemon zest. Fill the rest of the bottle with olive oil.



Set the bottle on a windowsill or somewhere else that gets a lot of sun. Leave it there for a few days, but shake the bottle a few times per day.



Store lemon oil in an airtight container at room temperature.
