Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
I also like to add Lime to blends when treating a cold or flu. It brings relief for fatigue, anxiety, and the general sense of discomfort related to illness.
For the skin, Lime is a great astringent and is used for oily, infected areas. Try combining it with Sandalwood and Lavender for skin issues.

Safety
Use with care in the sun as cold pressed Lime is considered Phototoxic . It is considered best to buy citrus oils that are from organically grown fruit as citrus trees can be heavily sprayed with pesticides.
