*This oil is produced from organically grown crops and is certified by our supplier.  However, our facility is not certified organic.  You get it though. ;-) 

Inspirational, energetic, and zesty, Lime Essential Oil refreshes the mind and lightens the mood!  This one is a gem that leaves a little sparkle everywhere! 

Body: Lime fosters purifying, cleansing, and detoxing within the body. It promotes toning and strengthening and can help to bring restoration after one has reached exhaustion. 

Mind & Emotions: Lime encourages emotional balance, optimism, and self-confidence. It aids in bringing about the positive attributes of alertness and assertiveness.

Lime and Lavender together can be especially uplifting and emotionally freeing when things are too heavy, when it feels like the walls are closing in around you, when life feels too much to handle. 

(And also, Jesus said to come to Him. He said His weight is light. We would love to pray for you! Email us at support@selahoils.com)

Inhalation:

Generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.

Internal:  

Although the quality of Selah Oils is excellent, it is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a certified physician who is also certified in aromatherapy. We recommend getting internal dosing instructions from a licensed physician as some essential oils are not recommended for oral consumption. This is in no way a reflection on our oil quality, only a matter of safety and caution with respect to how concentrated essential oils are. When used within safe parameters, and under your physician's care, the quality of our essential oils is such that they can be used internally if deemed appropriate.

However, with that said, it is important to remember the extreme concentration of essential oils. "Using essential oils by rubbing them into the skin or via inhalation is in many cases more effective than oral delivery" (Schnaubelt 96).

All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion.

Cautions

All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion. It is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a licensed physician who is also certified in aromatherapy. 

If for any reason you get essential oils in your eyes, put carrier oil along the eyebrows above the eyes and on the cheekbones below the eyes.  

Do not put essential oils inside your ear canal.

Lime Essential Oil

I LOVE Lime diffused during the summer. It is such a great scent and brings a cooling feel to the house. I have used Lime as a fever reducer as well and worked great!
