The Lime

It resonates with the Liver and Digestive system, helping to regulate Qi and aid in digestion. Furthermore, lime supports the body/s detoxification processes, making it useful in treating indigestion, bloating and enhancing overall skin health. Its refreshing quality also makes it a popular choice for boosting immunity and preventing common cold symptoms.
