Lime Peel Powder (Citrus Aurantifolia)

Lime Peel Powder (Citrus aurantifolia) is the finely milled rind of ripe lime fruit, traditionally used in Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Southeast Asian herbal practices for its aromatic, digestive, and heat-clearing properties. The peel carries a naturally bright, sour-aromatic fragrance and is valued for its ability to regulate qi, relieve stagnation, support healthy digestion, and gently clear damp-heat from the Stomach and Liver. Its uplifting citrus oils make it both a functional medicinal ingredient and a flavorful addition to teas, foods, and wellness preparations.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, lime and other citrus peels are used to move qi, transform phlegm, harmonize the middle burner, and ease bloating, nausea, or digestive heaviness. Lime Peel Powder is considered acrid, slightly bitter, and lightly cooling, helping to disperse constrained Liver qi, alleviate stress-related digestive tension, and reduce damp-heat patterns that manifest as irritability, indigestion, or sluggish bowel function.

In Ayurveda, lime peel is viewed as warming, detoxifying, and agni-kindling, traditionally used to support liver cleansing, bile flow, and digestive fire, while its aromatic nature helps open the senses and reduce sluggishness. Folk practices commonly use lime peel infusions to relieve nausea, heaviness, and mucus congestion, or as external washes for skin clarity and oil balance.

Modern analysis shows that Citrus aurantifolia peel contains abundant limonene, citral, flavonoids, pectin, and vitamin C, compounds that provide antioxidant, antimicrobial, digestive-enhancing, and detox-supportive benefits. These constituents validate its traditional role in promoting digestive comfort, metabolic support, and gentle cleansing.

Each batch of Lime Peel Powder (Citrus aurantifolia) is carefully dried and finely milled to preserve its vibrant aroma, citrus oils, and natural bitterness. When steeped or blended into recipes, it produces a bright, aromatic infusion or flavor base traditionally used to move qi, clear heat, refresh the senses, and support healthy digestion and liver function.
