Scent Profile

Lime is a top note. It has a fresh, zesty, and slightly tart citrus aroma, often described as bright, sweet, and invigorating.  

Recommended Uses

Despite its popularity, many are still unfamiliar with the many benefits that Lime essential oil carries. In skincare, Lime may be used to combat acne, greasy skin, spots, and cellulite. More advance skincare uses include addressing anemia, brittle nails, warts, varicose veins, corns and boils.

On "physical ailment" level, Lime has been shown to be useful in treating insect bites, cough & congestion, flu, fever, minor spasms, muscular inflammation, arthritis, rheumatism, poor circulation, (mildly) high blood pressure, some viral infections, stomach aches, flatulence, and excess weight concerns.

Psychologically, Lime is noted to benefit those dealing with feelings of apathy, anxiety & general nervousness, depression, listlessness, mental exhaustion and many stress related concerns. It often called "happiness in a bottle", and is an excellent refresher and mental stimulant. Additionally, it may be useful for those dealing with (and breaking away from) alcoholism.

Energetically this oil is not quite as versatile, but still quite useful. It is said to soothe traumatic memories and emotions held in both our etheric and physical selves. It is an excellent purifier for both individuals and rooms, and is thought to provide psychic protection.

Blending

• Citrus: Lime pairs beautifully with other citrus oils like lemon, grapefruit, orange, tangerine and bergamot. 
• Floral: Consider blending lime with floral oils like lavender, geranium, ylang ylang, and rosewood for a sweet and uplifting aroma. 
• Herbaceous: Lime can be combined with herbaceous oils like rosemary, basil, coriander, and clary sage for a fresh and earthy scent. 
• Spicy/Woody: For a more stimulating or grounding scent, try blending lime with spicy oils like black pepper or woody oils like cedarwood.  

Contradictions / Safety

Avoid use of Lime essential oils on sensitive or damaged skin. Lime is a diuretic, and quite "drying". If using regularly, or in higher doses, be sure to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

Steam distilled Lime is considered non-phototoxic, whereas cold pressed Lime is highly phototoxic. Do be mindful of UV exposure if using cold pressed lime on the skin.

To use essential oils safely, always dilute them with a carrier oil before topical application and avoid application to sensitive areas such as eyes, inner ears, nose, or broken skin. Store them a cool, dark, and dry place, making sure the lid is sealed tight and keep them out of reach of children and pets.

End of Life

To recycle make sure empty bottle is clean free from any oil residue.
