Lime - Citrus aurantifolia

Picture
Cooling, fruity, refreshing, uplifting  -- Lime essential oil can add these and more energetics to any blend.  When you're feeling blue, the light aroma of Lime can cheer you up.  It's also a great oil to have on hand during cold and flu season.  

With significant levels of both monoterpenes and monoterpenols, this essential oil can have an anti-microbial effect.  It's antiseptic, antiviral, and antibacterial.  Diffused, it'll help purify the air, and it can be used in a homemade general cleaning solution. 
Lime EO has a substantial amount of the monoterpene limonene which can activate your white blood cells to help you fight infections, and it may even help with treatments for several viruses.

Topically, Lime EO can help with clearing up acne-prone skin, and i
ts astringent properties can help tone the skin. It is also anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive (may relieve nociceptive pain), so it's a good addition to blends for asthma and arthritis.  

When you use Lime essential oil, be sure to check how it was extracted.  When distilled, it's safe on the skin; however, cold pressed Lime Essential Oil is phototoxic.  

You'll soon be able to read more about this beautiful essential oil in the membership section of this website.
