Lime Essential Oil

September 17, 2010 | Posted in: Herbs & Essential Oils

Source:  Mexico

Distillation:  Cold-pressed

Botanical name:  Citrus aurifolia

Note:  Made from peels of certified organic lime fruit

I love using this oil as a flavorant for hot teas and cold drinks!  It is really tasty in water with a drop of stevia, and helps alkalinize the blood and boost the immune system.  It is a tonic and restorative, raising the energy of the physical body and helping to relieve fatigue and weakness. It is antiviral and antiseptic, and helps boost the immune system.  It has anti-sclerotic properties (the ability to reverse hardening of tissues).

• For hardening of tissues–use in bath and massage on a daily basis.

• As an internal tonic, it adds a very pleasant taste.  Can be used in tonic formulas to relieve stagnation and lighten the flavor of medicinal herbs.

• Blood alkalizer, balances acid conditions.  Will help those with candida conditions when taken every day and supported with dietary change.

• Long term tonic capability, can be used as a food without detrimental effects.
