The orange is the most commonly grown fruit tree in the world. Our orange essential oil is cold-pressed from the skin of citrus sinensis trees grown in the USA.
Common Uses:
Orange essential oil is great for lifting the spirit and clarifying dull skin. Apply to the abdomen to ease painful swelling from indigestion. Diffuse or apply topically in 2-5% dilution.
Aromatic Scent:
Sweet Orange Essential Oil has a sweet, citrus smell much like the orange peels it is derived from, only more intense and concentrated.
History:
There is some argument, but it is believed that sweet orange was brought to Europe by the Arabs in the First century along with the bitter orange.
Cautions:
Some aromatherapists have reported that a small percentage of few people have experienced dermatitis from the limonene content of sweet orange. Orange Essential Oil is considered photo-toxic and exposure to sunlight should be avoided.
Do not use if pregnant.
