Topically, lime is a skin tonic and astringent, and a delight for the
hair.  Try mixing 3 drops of lime oil with an ounce of jojoba oil and
using as a hair conditioner.  Lime pressed oil can be phototoxic, so
avoid use with sun exposure.  Dilute heavily with topical use.  It is
recommended to dilute lime oil to 0.7%, which equals about 4 drops of
lime per ounce of carrier oil.  

History:  It is hard to differentiate the history of
lemons from limes, as there are so many hybrids among the two.  Both
lemons and limes were popular among sailors from the 1500s thru the
early 1900s for their high vitamin C content, to help avoid getting
scurvy.

Specific Safety Information:  Not for internal use. 
Dilute heavily with topical use.  Avoid topical use with sun exposure. 
Avoid use with children and certain medical conditions.  Pressed citrus
oils oxidize quickly with exposure to air.  Oxidized oils can cause
skin irritation.  Ask your doctor if you have any questions before use.
