\"Lime<\/a>Young Living\u2019s Lime essential oil has a wide variety of uses. Aromatically, the pleasant citrus scent is invigorating and may help promote mental clarity and encourage creativity.* Topically, Lime provides antioxidants to the skin, which may reduce dark spots due to aging and acts as an insect deterrent.* Taken internally, Lime supports a healthy digestive system and may aid in weight management. One of most versatile uses for Lime essential oil<\/a>, however, is for cooking.<\/p>\n

Before adding Lime or any other Young Living essential oil to a recipe, start by adding half of a drop (put a toothpick inside the oil bottle orifice and stir the toothpick into the recipe) and then add more to taste. Because it\u2019s so highly concentrated, you don\u2019t need to use very much Lime essential oil to get the fresh lime flavor that can make your recipes pop. A great idea is to combine olive oil with Lime essential oil and use it as a marinade for meat or veggies. For an extra kick of flavor, you can also substitute Lime essential oil for lemon in many recipes.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of easy recipe ideas:<\/p>\n

Delicious Limeade<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 cups crushed ice<\/p>\n

1 cup water<\/p>\n

Fresh fruit (strawberries, cherries, etc.)<\/p>\n

1-2 drops Lime essential oil<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fill a blender with ice and water. Add fresh fruit and 1-2 drops of Lime essential oil. Blend and enjoy!<\/p>\n

Lime Yogurt Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n

Young Living\u00a0Yacon Syrup<\/a>, or Blue Agave<\/a> (sweeten to taste)<\/p>\n

1 quart plain unsweetened or soy yogurt<\/p>\n

6 drops Lime Vitality essential oil<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Add all ingredients together and stir. Use the sauce over fruit or dessert.<\/p>\n
