Lemon Tea Tree essential oil is steam distilled from from a relative of the more common 'Tea Tree' - both being of the Myrtaceae family. The oil has a pleasant, 'round' lemon scent, found by some to be smoother than lemongrass or citronella. Its main component, citral, can be irritating to the skin, so low dilutions are recommended.

Its bright fresh aroma is quite purifying. In low doses it can be stimulating, bringing relaxation with a little greater exposure. Diffused, it can clear the mind and be rejuvenating. In general, its actions are considered similar to 'common' tea tree but with a more pleasant, less medicinal scent.

Lemon Tea Tree is considered the ultimate natural mosquito repellent, and is effective on its own in a carrier oil. Because of its powerful nature, it should be diluted to near 2%, or about 20 drops per ounce. 12 drops Lemon Tea Tree, 4 drops Eucalyptus and 4 drops Cedarwood may be added to 4 ounces of water in a spray bottle and used on a dog's coat to keep away the fleas. (Using essential oils is not recommended on CATS however - though we've seen one go crazy over a drop of Rose!)

Lemon Tea Tree is also considered one of the best odor controllers. As above, it may be added to water in a spray bottle and applied to the offending area. A few drops may be added to any cleaning solution for the same effect.

About
Ananda Aromatherapy
Essential Oils:

All oils from Ananda Aromatherapy are therapeutic grade, meaning they are produced to the highest quality standards possible. Our essential oils are chosen for their integrity (all chemical constituents important for aromatherapy are intact), ecological 'soundness' (most are organic or wild grown), and wonderful aromas. You may order a sample of any oil before trying larger amounts. Most samples are about .75ml; exotic oils such as Melissa, Rose, Angelica and Jasmine are only a few drops. Ananda Aromatherapy offers wholesale essential oils direct to you. We forgo the use of separate wholesale and retail tiers in order to keep fine therapeutic grade oils accessible to everyone!
