Botanical Name: Citrus aurantifolia Botanical Family: Rutaceae
· Extraction Method: Cold Expression (standard) or Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Fruit Peel
· Aroma Note: Top
Lime has a sharper, more tart, and "greener" aroma than Lemon. It is incredibly refreshing and zesty. Historically, sailors used Limes to prevent scurvy on long voyages, and the essential oil remains a powerhouse for the immune system. The Cold Expressed oil is bright and tangy (like the fresh fruit), while the Distilled oil smells more like a lime candy or cordial and is not photosensitive.
Antiseptic, Antiviral, Bactericidal, Disinfectant, Febrifuge, Haemostatic, Restorative, Stimulant (digestive and immune), Tonic.
· Skin: Oily skin, acne, and insect bites. Its astringent properties make it excellent for clearing up skin congestion and toning the tissues.
· Respiratory: Helps to clear the head and throat. It is a fantastic oil to use in a diffuser when dealing with a "heavy" chest cold or sinusitis.
· Digestive: Loss of appetite and indigestion. Like most citrus oils, it helps stimulate the digestive juices and can help settle an upset stomach.
· Immune System: A premier oil for infection. It helps the body fight off viral attacks and is very effective at reducing a fever when used in a cool compress.
· Nervous System: Fatigue, apathy, and listlessness. It is one of the most "electrifying" oils for a tired mind.
Lime is the "Oil of Zest for Life." It is a powerful antidepressant for those who feel emotionally "gray" or flat. It helps to clear out the emotional congestion that leads to apathy and hopelessness. Lime infuses the spirit with a sense of light, courage, and the determination to engage with life again.
1. The "Energy Boost" Inhaler: Put 2 drops of Lime and 1 drop of Rosemary on a cotton wick. Inhale whenever you feel a "mid-afternoon slump" to instantly sharpen your focus.
2. Kitchen Surface Sanitizer: Add 10 drops of Lime to a 250ml spray bottle with water and a dash of white vinegar. It smells amazing and is naturally antibacterial.
3. Cooling Fever Compress: Add 2 drops of Lime to a bowl of cold water. Soak a washcloth and apply to the forehead to help lower a high temperature and refresh the senses.
