Description: Sweet orange essential oil is high in aldehydes, this is the group of constituents that contribute to its anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmatic, anti-bacterial and sedating qualities. It is a tonic to the CNS, anti-depressant and assists in moving stagnant energy in the liver, stomach and intestines making it an effective digestive aid. This essence assists in cultivating a lighter and brighter approach and is ideal for the individual who feels overwhelmed with worry and is constantly leaking energy by mentally projecting into past or future rather than utilizing their energy in the present moment. It can be a remedy for chronic procrastination, when one feels too serious and for removing obstacles on all levels. The iconic sweet and fresh aroma of orange can beautifully shift us from fear and resistance into ease and adaptability.

*Citrus oils are phototoxic and must be used with awareness. The sweet orange is considered the least phototoxic of all the citruses. It is still important to be aware and consider that the standard recommendation is to avoid exposing the area of application to direct sunlight for up to 12 hours after applying. Always do a test patch first to see how your skin responds.
