Orange, Sweet
Citrus aurantium
Sweet orange is another citrus essential oil which brings
the healing, rejuvenating qualities of solar energy into the
body/mind system. It promotes mental clarity and emotional
balance and is a wonderful oil for the doldrums of winter.
Sweet orange assists in resolving and releasing deep emotional
issues. This is a very inexpensive oil which can be used
lavishly in the home. This oil is relaxing and calming,
soothing the nerves and aiding sleep. The essence of orange
comes from the fruit of the tree which originated in China,
but now also grows in France, Portugal, the Americas, and the
Mediterranean lands. It is a very refreshing oil, enabling one
to feel awake arid cheerful, while relaxed. Soothing to the
nervous and digestive system, it will draw the stiffness out of
sore, tense muscles when added to a massage blend. It is a
good cleanser of the
blood that will detoxify and rejuvenate
the skin, returning to it the quality of youth.

Caution
Use caution when exposing skin to sun after oil is applied;
some orange oil can make the skin photosensitive.
Never leave children to use pure essential oils on their own.
They get overly enthusiastic and always use too much!
Less is always best when using pure essential oils.
