Sweet Orange Essential Oil
Happy making, refreshing and stress busting...
all around yummy!
Sweet orange essential oil is an excellent, happy refresher for when you're stressed or down.
It's sunny, uplifting scent is especially good for brightening up the wintertime blues.
For some reason children seem to have an affinity for the citrus oils, and orange is especially good
diffused in children's rooms to calm, lift and stabilize their mood (not to mention your own!)
It also helps them fall asleep.
Orange essential oil is an excellent general health tonic, boosting the immune and lymphatic systems,
fighting stress, colds and flu and other bugs, as well as stimulating gentle detixofication.
Digestively speaking, orange is good for constipation, flatulence and slow digestion.
It's also a diuretic and helps with water retention and weight loss.
Orange oil's tonic action is great for all skin types, clearing up oily, acne-prone skin, while also
reducing dryness and itchiness due to weather, age or eczema/psoriasis.
It supports the formation of collagen, which is vital for young, firm, healthy looking skin. Gotta love it!
