I didn't know all of that -- That's so neat. Last winter, my Alt.Med doc said to burn Lime Oil. I prefer candles though. Actually, before you explained the reason, I thought that could've been part of why you picked your name.
I've found when I can kind of associate a smell with a good memory (of something fun, or of a safe time or person), then that smell takes on a calming aspect. Like, during my grandmother's service they burned a vanilla candle. So when I smell it now it makes me think of hugging her, and visiting her when I was small, and being safe. Maybe the Lime smell can help ground you when you're in a bad place -- then you can have the lovely head-picture AND the smell to help fight off the bad stuff. (Not a magic potion, but for me every little thing helps)
I always wonder if others have smells that mean something to them too, or if this is another weird thing I do.EL
And by the way, You HAVE been quite medicinal before -- helping quell a hysterical rave or two (*she said while blushing*)
