dōTERRA Lime oil is lime colored because it is cold pressed from the peel to preserve the furocoumarins. Furocoumarins are organic chemical compounds produced by plants as a defense mechanism against various types of predators ranging from insects to mammals¹

Lime does so much because of the balance of constituents: limonene, alcohols, esters, pinenes and furocoumarins.

Use it for more than a week.  For children, you can put Lime oil on their feet to help them clean out old persistent mucus that might be blocking the ears.

MIND

The Oil of Passion for Life.  According to the Emotions & Essential Oils, the negative emotions Lime oil helps to release are as follows: Apathetic, resigned, grieving, loss of will to live, discouraged

The positive properties we can incorporate are the following: Courageous, emotionally honest, engaged, revitalized, determined, grateful for life

Emotionally, Lime oil mixes well with many other oils.  It simply adds ‘Zest’ to other oils!

Clear Junk for Decision Making: Rub Lime on the inside of your arms and inhale to help make clear decisions. Mental clarity.

Jade’s Energetic Happy Blend:  1 drop of each Lime, Bergamot, Wild Orange, Melissa, and Petitgrain in a diffuser when you are under pressure but don’t want to let that pressure take you down.

To Grow Patience with Self: Lime, Cypress, Roman Chamomile, wild Orange, Marjoam, and White Fir.  One drop of each and inhale often.  Using a necklace diffuser will help.

I am fully revitalized and engaged in life

SPIRIT

Uplift the Soul: Smell Lime oil while meditating to help uplift the soul.

Spiritual Heart Decongestant: Lime clears the heart of congestion so it can fully take courage, have full determination and passion.

This is the oil of zest for life. Lime helps replace discouragement and grief with a shining light of courage.  No matter what has happened in your life, choose to continue to live your purpose like Job of the Bible.

Lime reminds us to feel emotionally safe, engaged, revitalized, and grateful for the gift of life. Use Lime if feel lost and perhaps the will to live.  Smell it until you feel your ‘sun has come up’ for you.

Lime clears away darkness and accumulated junk in your heart and mind that is in the way of you seeing your true self.  Lime balances the heart and mind. Do not let yourself feel resigned. Use Lime heavily and live life fully when you connect to the divine powers and feel a renewed sense of purpose again.

*Note about ingesting oils: I only recommend the dōTERRA CPTG essential oils that are labeled for internal usage.  I can not vouch for any other brand or grade.

**The inside of your arm is part of the Pericardium Meridian.  

• The Pericardium Meridian represents the protective sac around the heart.  This sac is supposed to represent our deepest, heartfelt beliefs.
• It works to align what we say and do associated with our purpose
• It is connects all levels of the whole being (physical, spiritual and mental)

Balance this meridian when you are overwhelmed, bewildered, confused, nervous and muddled.
