Sweet Orange essential oil

Product Information

Sweet Orange Essential Oil is the oil produced from the fruit of the Orange tree - Other 'orange' essential oils are from the bitter orange tree: Petitgrain Oil being produced from the leaves, Neroli Oil from the blossoms, and Bergamot being pressed from the peels. Sweet Orange essential oil is citrusy and brightly fragrant, lending itself to uplifting the emotions and the mind. Rather than stimulating, the overall effect is calming, and can act as an antidepressant. It is considered warming, cheering, soothing, and may bring balance to the nervous system and emotions. In fact, blending the orange oils together is recommended for aromatic support in relieving tension and anxiety.

Sweet Orange Oil is lovely to blend with, adding a sweet citrus note. It goes particularly well with spice oils such as Clove - blends which seem to appeal in the cooler months. It also blends well with Lavender for a nice relaxing aroma, and with Frankincense, adding to it's light citrus notes.
