Orange (Citrus aurantium) essential oil benefits

Energizing, uplifting, and refreshing, Orange essential oil bursts of positive energy. 

Encourages, appetite, improves digestion and adds a sweet note of energy to all blends.

Sweet Orange is native to China and was brought to Europe by the Portuguese in the early 16th century.

Orange essential oil is considered in Aromatherapy one of the best happy and warm oil, perfect to calm nerves, fight depression, and induce healthy sleep. It stimulates positive energy and keeps the digestive system function smoothly. It is definitively one of the best natural body and soul tonics. Orange works wonderfully as a lymphatic system regulator, and it is used to detox and fights fluid retention and cellulite, although it must be said that it stimulates appetite. Helps clear congested skin.
