Despite our best intentions, stress and anxious thoughts can creep into our lives and begin to sour our happiness. Key Lime is an essential oil that helps us slow down and find a sense of harmony and calm. Key Lime can be especially helpful for those struggling with depression and anxiety. Beyond Key LimeÌs sweet and tart aroma, it can be applied topically to help heal acne prone skin and insect bites. It also can improve vitality during the cold and flu season. Key Lime pairs amazingly well with Geranium and other citrus and floral aromas. Native to Asia, the Lime tree was first introduced by the Moors. British ships transporting Limes were called "lime juicers" because crews depended heavily on the LimeÌs high vitamin C content which helped prevent scurvy during long voyages. Today, it is cultivated in Italy, Africa, the West Indies and the Americas. The small evergreen tree grows up to 15 feet in height and sprouts ovate leaves, small white flowers and bitter fruit. The peel of the fruit is cold pressed to extract the lovely essential oil.BOTANICAL NAME: Citrus aurantifolia ORIGIN: Mexico EXTRACTION METHOD: Cold Pressed PLANT PART: Peel NOTE: Top FAMILY: Rutaceae SYNONYM: Mexican Lime, West Indian Lime BLENDS WELL WITH: Bergamot, Geranium, and other citrus and florals AROMA: Sweet, rich, tart, and likened to a Lime popsicle CONSISTENCY: Thin COLOR: Clear **Euro droppers are not included with 100 ml bottles**SAFETY: Dilute to 0.7% when using topically.
