Lime (Mexican) *Cold Pressed
Sizes: 15mL, 120mL
Origin: Mexico
Botanical Family: Rutaceae
Latin Name: Citrus aurantifolia
Description: Cold Pressing is the traditional method of extracting essential oils from citruses, however with this method we receive the coumarins that contribute to the photosensitivity noted below. While cold pressed citrus oils must be used with awareness, they offer much value to the immune system and assist the body with vitamin D uptake and cancer prevention. For internal use or for immune functions and pH balancing, I might suggest the cold pressed variety. For achieving the essential aromatherapy effects of Lime within a skin care formula without the photosensitivity, I might recommend the steam distilled variety. The refreshing and 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.
*Citrus oils are phototoxic and must be used with awareness. The standard recommendation is to avoid exposing the area of application to direct sunlight for up to 12 hours after applying. Always do a test patch first to see how your skin responds.
