USES IN AROMATHERAPY
Mind/Emotional:
Bright and zesty scent of Lime essential oil is awakening and uplifting to spirit and mood. It brings about positivity, abundance and optimism.
Robbi Zeck ND, in ‘The Blossoming Heart’, describes the oil as “tangy, bright… and settles, calms and refreshes the emotions, allowing feelings to be explored and released constructively.” “When you are feeling agitated, in great turmoil or dealing with stressful situations, Lime clears any heated emotions and returns you to a place of calm and ease.”
Like many citrus oils, Lime is comforting yet uplifting at the same time. Pick this oil up when you feel weary of the trials and tribulations; or when you are in need of a relaxing, stress-relieving benefit. Simple diffusion is also a perfect way to overcome exhaustion, listlessness and low ebb.
Body/Physical:
In skin care, Lime essential oil acts as tightening and toning astringent that can reduce production of excess oil, meaning that it helps to control oily skin or blemishes.
As an antioxidant, the Limonene also supports absorption of nutrients for a clean and vibrant-looking skin. Hence, the oil is commonly used in skin care for acnes, wrinkles, scars, uneven skin tone, sagging skin, dull complexion and dark spots. It also reduces dandruffs and dry itchy scalp; leaving the hairs shiny and healthy.
As an immune booster, it stimulates immune system to increase production of leukocytes that fight infections. Additionally, it has antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-viral and anti-microbial properties, Lime can be blended with other known immune-boosting oils e.g. Eucalyptus, Nerolina, Kunzea, etc to clear congested airways and decongest phlegm.
Being a mild detoxifier, you may use it for cleansing and detoxification. This includes fluid retention and cellulite, as well as other metabolic ailments such as liver cleansing, digestive difficulties and gallstones or inflammation of gall bladder. The oil also works on stabilizing blood pressure fluctuations.
Lime has a beautifully refreshing and clean scent. As we spend 90% of our time indoors, it is an excellent oil for purifying the air of our home to create a vibrant, joyful and clean atmosphere.
