Properties
Refreshing and rejuvenating, its aroma inspires and brings fresh energy;
clears the mind. Citrus oils help to eliminate emotional confusion and
increase ones sense of humor and well-being. Very comforting. In moderation,
Orange Oil is an effective skin care ingredient, but do avoid large
concentrations. Orange rind and aroma is a popular ingredient in the
kitchen; Orange Oil can be a great alternative, but use very sparingly
and from certified organic farming.
Also a popular ingredient
in household cleaners because it smells clean and aids the cleaning.
In fact, Orange Essential Oil is one of the main ingredients in certain
products like Goo-gone, and it is great in removing stickers from windows
etc. Please be aware that Orange Essential Oil may affect plastic and
synthetic surfaces.
Suggested
Use
Use a few drops in a diffuser to freshen the aroma climate of your home.
Add a few drops to the water when washing dishes or cleaning the house.
Add very sparingly to food that you would otherwise prepare with Orange
rind, such as desserts, salads and pastries.
Add 9 drops of Aromaland's Buddha or Calming Blends (which contain Orange)
to 1oz. of unscented body care product for a soothing experience.
Try making your
own 'gingerbread honey' or syrup, and adding it to tea or desserts.
This is not only delicious but helps to soothe the stomach as well.
The following is a wonderful recipe for such a honey, great also for
a homemade gift.
To 2oz. of maple
syrup or honey, add:
3 drops Ginger Essential
Oil
1 drop Cardamom Essential Oil
1 drop Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil
3 drops Vanilla Essential Oil
8 drops of certified organic Orange or Mandarin Orange Essential Oil
Citrus Essential
Oils are among the few Essential Oils with a limited shelf life. Keep
your citrus oils away from heat and direct sunlight, and in tightly
closed containers; your fridge would be great! Try using them within
6 months of purchase. Older oils may not be appropriate for medicinal
or skin care purposes, but can still add citrus-power to a diffuser
blend.
Blends Well
With
Citrus Essential Oils blend well with a lot of different oils, "lifting"
a blend to make it appear more energetic and lively. Lavender, Neroli,
Ylang Ylang, Rose, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Geranium, Fennel, Tea Tree,
resinous Essential Oils and many others.
History
When peeling a citrus fruit, you may experience the Essential Oil freely
spraying from the peel when applying pressure. Squirting the Essential
Oil into a candle flame is a nice winter activity that fascinates children,
and those young at heart
Before the juice of citrus fruits is processed, the peel of the fruits
is carefully removed and the Essential Oil extracted from the glands
that are located in the outer layer of the peel. This is the process
behind the term "cold pressed" and it is obvious that any
chemical deposits applied to the skin of the fruit during conventional
farming may leech into the oil. If you are using citrus Essential Oil
for skin care or cooking, we strongly recommend our certified organic
citrus Essential Oils.
