Sweet Orange

Mmmm... the comforting scent of orange. Citrusy, Uplifting, Warming. I love Orange and several people have either requested it lately or asked about the effects of it so, here goes on a little overview of Orange Essential Oil. ...

Orange is emotionally uplifting and warming. It's refreshing and energizing qualities are especially beneficial when used on the body. With natural properties that cleanse and rejuvenate the complexion, orange revives dull skin. Orange blends well with most oils. The best to blend Sweet Orange with are: Lemon, Lavender, Grapefruit, Lime, Neroli, Clary Sage, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, Dalmatian Sage and Sandalwood.
My favorite blend with orange is Citrus and Sage. Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Lime and Dalmatian Sage. Mmmm - I'll take a soak in that anyday!

Be cautious though when using any citrus oil on your skin and then going out into the sun. You should avoid exposure to the sun for @ 6 hours due to the oil being phototoxic. Your skin may have a reaction and become very red and irritated.

Cheers! have a lovely uplifting day,
