5. RESPIRATORY ISSUES -Inhaling lime oil can help treat congestion and other respiratory conditions caused by the common cold, flu or bronchitis. Its antiviral properties help prevent the illnesses in the first place while it also has properties that can help you breathe more easily after you are sick.

There are several inhalation methods that will free up your respiratory system and help you breathe more comfortably. You can of course inhale your lime oil directly from your bottle or from your hands but it is probably more effective to make a steam inhalation.

So to be safe you should avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours after lime oil has been applied. Because of this, other essential oils may be more suitable for treating the skin on your face.
