Lime oil is useful to cool fevers associated with colds, sore throats and flu. It aids the immune system while easing coughs, bronchitis and sinusitis, as well as helping asthma. Lime oil can stimulate and refresh a tired mind and helps with depression.

It can be helpful for arthritis, rheumatism and poor circulation, as well as for obesity and cellulite and has an astringent and toning action to clear oily skin and acne, and also helps with herpes, insect bites and cuts.

Lime oil has a sharp, citrus peel smell and is pale yellow to light olive in colour.

Lime oil blends particularly well with neroli, lavender, clary sage and ylang-ylang.
