General -
Lime
Can be pressed from the peel or steam distilled from the whole fruit.
The expressed oil is phototoxic. The Lime is a small tree, crooked and
prickly, only reaching as a rule, a height of 8 feet. The leaves are
ovate-oblong, and the stalk is not winged like that of the orange and
lemon tree. The flowers are small and white and the fruit about half the
size of a lemon, with a smoother, thinner rind, having a greenish tinge
in its yellow.
Uses
- Lime
essential oil, has a sweet citrus aroma. It
shares most of the same characteristics as lemon including fighting
infections, colds, and dyspepsia. It also has antiviral and
anti-bacterial properties that make it excellent for treating cold and
flu symptoms. It is also commonly used as a digestive and appetite
stimulant and used in dyspepsia with glycerin of pepsin. The juice is
principally used in the manufacture of citric acid, and for medicinal
purposes. It is often used indiscriminately with that of the lemon,
although its flavor is not so popular. Oil of limes is used for
flavoring purposes, especially in mineral waters and artificial
lime-juice cordials, consisting of sweetened solutions of tartaric acid.
