Hey, everybody, its Dr. Sam, I’d like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast today. So I’m going to take one question. I’m so excited to talk about aromatherapy. You know, it’s one of my passions. I’ve been studying plant medicine for many, many years. And I want to focus in on lemon, lemon essential oil. So lemon is one of those essential oils that’s really versatile. But you have to be careful in how you use it. In fact, when you use any essential oils the first time, you need to introduce the oil to yourself in a very gentle and loving way. And that means what I like to do when I teach my classes, I recommend that you smell the oil first you get an aroma, it goes in through your olfactory system to the Olympic system, you’re gonna get an immediate yes or no.
So if I had rose oil, for example, you’d smell that for most people, it associates to the rose flower, it’s hard opening. Whereas there’s another essential oil I use called spike in art. And it smells like dirty socks, even though it’s a very shamanic essential oil, you can use it in the dream world. It’s very relaxing. So you know, you have to introduce yourself and see, first of all, is it a yes or no. And so with the lemon, most people love lemon, you know, it’s a citrus. And so with lemon, you smell it first, you get that? That first introduction. And then I like to do a test pass patch on my arm. So I use it on the inside part of my wrist, no, the kind of below the wrist, it’s a skin area there that’s pretty well protected in the sense that if you put an oil on there, and it burns a little bit, no big deal, as opposed to say, putting it directly on your face, or, you know, private areas of your body where it burns. And believe me, I’ve done that.
And it’s it’s painful for a minute or so. And then of course, it goes away. And by the way, if you ever put an essential oil on your on your skin, and it burns, you can immediately reduce the burning by using coconut oil. So that’s a trick that I learned when I was first learning about aromatherapy. And it’s it’s a great one for reducing or eliminating any burning from any essential oil. So with lemon, let’s say you’ve done test number one, you’ve smelled it’s good, you put it on the wrist area, the inside part of the arm, it’s all good. So the next thing would be to say where is the safe place to put it on the body. And I think you can put almost any essential oil on the soles of your feet. And so for adults, the dosage would be two to three drops of oil on either soul twice a day now with children, because I get this question a bit from parents because they love the essential oils. And actually kids actually love these essential oils even more, because they’re very connected to plants. You know, they’re out in nature, they’re playing hopefully not, not on their digital screen time, too much, but they’re out there in nature and they’re they’re playing and they’re so they’re more attuned to nature, so they’re going to be more attuned to most plant medicines, whether it’s homeopathy or herbs or essential oils.
So with them, if you’re doing adults say, two to four drops with kids, I would start with one drop. And the younger the child, of course, the less oil the more sensitive it’s going to be. So what are the benefits of lemon? So first of all, lemon is antibacterial, it’s antifungal. Lemon also supports the liver, the spleen, the kidney. It’s actually a detoxification agent. So if you’re doing a gentle detox, you can add lemon to your detoxification program. Again, always on the soles of the feet. Another thing I love about lemon is that it’s emotionally uplifting. You’re going to feel better you’re going to feel up. So let’s say you know you’re having a down day, little lemon goes a long way in terms of giving you that emotional boost.

So the last question that I get about the essential oils is carrier oils. Now when I first learned aromatherapy, the school I was in was really extreme. We only used essential oils directly on the skin. And as I began to practice aromatherapy, I did observe that people had different sensitivity levels on their skin. And if you did get an organic carrier oil that you could mix in or use It I, I have softened my perspective on it. So three carrier oils that I would suggest and make sure they’re organic jojoba, Aloevera, or sunflower. These are three really compatible carrier oils that you can use with any essential oils. And again, you can just mix them in and apply it to your skin.
Now again, it’s going to dilute the essential oil a bit, so you may need to use a few more drops, but you’ll need to play with it. And you know, the the aspect of aromatherapy that’s really important is the intuitive part. And if you’re into intuition is strong, you’ll know one drop two drops once a day, twice a day, generally speaking, twice a day is really a good prescription. Again, one to four drops depending on the oil. So the company that I recommend, and I get no financial benefit from them, is Stillpoint aromatics. They’re in Sedona and Virginia joy is the founder and CEO of Stillpoint aromatics. She was actually on my health summit in Jade this past January. And I love her she’s got high integrity. She really shops the best farmers that she can find in terms of using biodynamic farming principles and it being organic and so on. So Stillpoint aromatics, you can find them online. All right, everybody. That’s my show for today. I want to thank you for tuning in. Until next time, take care.
