Benefits of Lemon for the Body

Lemons are a super food and really good for the body. I love to use Lemon essential oil as it’s a great disinfectant. Lemons can be added to your water and to cleaning products.

Lemons can help support the heart, they are a good source of Vitamin C. They help to control weight, prevent kidney stones, fight against anemia and can help with digestive health.

  1. I didn’t realise that there is such a thing as Melt and Pour Soap base. This certainly makes soap making really easy. I normally buy soap bars but I may give this a try now that I know about it.

    1. A spray bottle of alcohol is a must when making melt and pour soap. A light spritz helps get rid of air bubbles after pouring. Spritzing alcohol immediately before pouring your top layer really helps “glue” the two layers together.
