How it's beneficial for beauty: "The leaves of the kaffir limes are considered to be the aromatic scent of Thailand," Arveux explained. It's widely used in Thai kitchens for curries, soups, and stir-fries. The scent is fabulous and will help you relax. If you can find the fruit of the kaffir lime, it is a great ingredient to use for healthy hair and to prevent against dandruff and hair loss, and it also fights bacteria. Lime is again an essential ingredient in Thai kitchens, especially cooked with steamed fish and garlic! The lime essential oil mainly clears oily, congested skin, and it is a strong antiseptic to cure infections. Many people start their days by drinking warm water with lime, as this is a vitamin and mineral boost.
DIY recipe: Kaffir lime leaves and lime foot soak. "After a long day at work, your foot needs a fresh break," she said. Cut four slices of lime, and use the rest for the juice. Mix the juice with one tablespoon of crushed Himalayan salt, which contains minerals and helps to stimulate the circulation and soothe the sore muscles. Fill a bowl with warm water, crushed kaffir lime leaves, and the lime slices. Soak your feet in the warm water and relax. Softly massage the lime juice and the Himalayan salt scrub on the feet with a focus on heels and hard skin. Cleanse with warm water. [Editor's note: this was done to my feet before my massage at the spa, and your feet feel seriously refreshed after!]
