Jade Lemon Essential Oil: Why It's Always in My Summer Rotation
I recently placed an order for the Jacob & Kait summer blends and a new supplement for my hubby. As a bonus, I received a bottle of Jade Lemon.
Now, Jade Lemon wasn't new to me, but getting that free bottle reminded me just how often I reach for it.
If you're a citrus lover, there's a good chance Jade Lemon will quickly earn a permanent spot in your collection.
Bright, fresh, slightly sweet, and a little less sharp than traditional Lemon, Jade Lemon has become one of my favorite oils for summer.
What Makes Jade Lemon Different?
Jade Lemon has become one of Young Living's most-loved citrus oils, and once you smell it, it's easy to understand why.
It has a bright, sunny citrus aroma that's slightly sweeter and softer than traditional Lemon. It's uplifting without being overpowering and blends beautifully with everything from Lavender and Peppermint to other citrus oils.
What I love most is how versatile it is. Some oils have one specific purpose. Jade Lemon somehow ends up everywhere.
It's in my water, my diffuser, my room sprays, my cleaning recipes, and occasionally in projects I hadn't originally planned to use it for.
That's usually the sign of a really good oil.
My Favorite Way to Use Jade Lemon: Water
Let's be honest. Staying hydrated is not exactly my superpower.
Every morning I start with good intentions, and somehow by mid-afternoon I'm wondering why my water bottle is still mostly full. Adding Jade Lemon to my water makes hydration a little more enjoyable and encourages me to drink more throughout the day.
Important note: If you're adding Jade Lemon to water, it’s helpful to know that Young Living makes Jade Lemon with a Vitality (dietary) label.
