Traditionally, lime essential oil has been used for its medicinal properties. This Citrus species is native to Southeast Asia. The history of limes is quite rich and intriguing. It's believed that limes were introduced to Egypt and Northern Africa around the 10th century. Three centuries later, they were introduced to Spain and spread from there throughout the rest of Europe.

Top Uses For Lime Essential Oil
In aromatherapy lime oil can be used in a variety of applications. Lime oil can be added to your favourite facial cleanser for a refreshing clean feeling and it helps clear acne and oily skin. It can also be mixed with creams and lotions for a zesty aroma that helps promote circulation and prevents varicose veins. Lime oil also makes a delightful room fragrance, encouraging mental clarity, and alertness and helps lift feelings of depression and lightens mood.
Shopping Tips For Buying Quality Essential Oils
When shopping for essential oils, it's important to purchase ones that are solvent-free. Selecting high-quality, oils that are pure and potent ensures a healthier aromatherapy experience. When shopping for lime oil specifically, look for oils that are cold pressed as this extraction process yields the purest product.
These articles are so lovely and helpful. I am a great fan of essential oils, but I am especially fond of Lemon, Orange, and Lime essential oils, so any information on them is a bonus. The scent of Lime is like the article brings out, invigorating, and provides mental clarity. The article also reminds me that like most essential oils, it should be mixed with a carrier oil. The carrier oils are also sold at nationalnutrition.ca. Perfumes can also be made from lime essential oil.

I agee with Valerie's comment that these articles are often lovely to read and practically helpful as well... I had no idea that this simple essential oil had so many benefits including indigestion support, prevention of nausea and heartbun (anti emetic), alleviation of coughing as well as colds, cooling, and ai purification-I wonder: what are the mechanims of these effects? Also, is lime essential oil,, like othr essential oils, antibacterial too? Anyway, thank you for another good read: lime essential oil is subLIME (please forgive the lame pun haha) and I am so happy to have learned more about it because it has a bunch of benefits that I wasn't aware of (but am aware of now!)
