When thinking about a fruit as ordinary as an orange, one has to ask are there benefits in using orange as an essential oil?
Our answer? A resounding yes!
A big win for sweet orange is certainly its ability to lift the spirits and reduce symptoms relating to anxiety and depression. Yes, you heard right! Multiple studies have shown how the scent of sweet orange calms nervous children undergoing dental procedures to women in the midst of labour.
Scientific research even shows how the fantastic citrus sinensis is one of the four most valuable essential oils to soothe and nurse one of life’s greatest mysteries – the headache. Haven’t we all had days when a headache occurs, and no true reason can be identified? This certainly makes Sweet Orange a must have, for the medicine cabinet.
Handy for topical application this wonder oil also improves acne- prone skin, rejuvenating that which was once dull and highly in need of some extra T.L.C. Simply dilute with a carrier oil and conduct a patch test on the skin if using this oil for the first time; before applying topically.
