Aromatherapy: How fragrances work - Lime-Mint

Lime-Mint is one of our most refreshing scents. Both the lime and the mint have a fresh , intense fragrance that invigorates our senses!

Where does lime-mint come from?

The lime is also known as the "lemon of the tropics." However, it is even juicier and more aromatic than the lemon, which is why the lime is perfectly suited as a fragrance. Limes grow on evergreen trees and are native to the Mediterranean region, Brazil, and Australia.

Mint is also very aromatic and a suitable ingredient for our fragrances. It is cultivated from Europe to Asia, but its flowering period in Europe is very short, lasting only from June to August. Commercially, mint is therefore grown in Japan, China, India, and Brazil for processing into essential oil.

How is the lime-mint fragrance produced?

Lime essential oil is produced by cold-pressing the peels. One liter of oil requires 150 kilograms of ripe lime peels.

Mint , in turn, is processed into essential oil through steam distillation of the leaves. One hundred kilograms of mint leaves are needed to produce one liter of oil.

What are the effects of lime and mint?

Lime and mint are wonderful on their own and good for our health. However, together they create an unbeatable fresh, intense fragrance.

1. Bless you!

Lime and mint both possess antibacterial and antiviral properties, which they also release into their essential oils. Thus, the lime-mint mixture inhibits inflammation and helps ward off colds.
