Sweet Orange, Wild (Citrus sinensis) Sweet Orange essential oil smells just like fresh orange
peels, and brings a smile to the face. It is good to smell this
oil when you are feeling a little low. It encourages a positive
outlook and is uplifting to the spirits. One of our favorite
ways to use this oil is to place a few drops on hot sauna rocks.
The heavenly smell will quickly fill the room. Use on the skin
with caution and in low dilution due to phototoxic effect of
citrus oils.
Orange is also beneficial for migraines, SAD, fibromylagia,
digestive complaints and depression.
