Lime (Mexican) *Steam Distilled

Sizes: 15mL, 120mL

Origin: Mexico

Botanical Family: Rutaceae

Latin Name: Citrus aurantifolia

Description: Citrus oils are typically cold pressed to preserve the complex matrix of constituents that make up the essential oil, however when steam distilling citrus oils the phototoxicity is reduced and in some cases removed because certain constituents are not preserved in this process. Steam distilled citruses can be useful in skin care products or for use when sun exposure is unavoidable. The aroma of this steam distilled Lime is refreshing, sharp yet sweet. The energizing aroma of Lime lifts us out of fatigue from heat and exhaustion and renews our focus and mental clarity. Mexican Lime can assist in recovering from nervous exhaustion, anxiety, irritability or heated emotions. It is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-depressant. It supports and strengthens the immune system, is useful for fevers, cold/flu, respiratory strengthening and liver detoxification. Lime is also useful for alleviating water retention, balancing the pH and is a digestive aid. This essence can be a helpful remedy for ADD/ADHD and reconnecting with or discovering one's purpose or direction.
