Full Of Life and Sparkling with Energy; Tangerine!

I love the smell of tangerines. This fresh, clean and uplifting aroma is one of my favorites.

Tangerine essential oil contain anti-fungal and antiseptic properties. For this reason, tangerine essential oil may be helpful in preventing and treating acne or skin infections. It can also be used for preventing stretch marks. Additionally, open wounds may benefit from the antiseptic properties of tangerine oil.

Taken internally, tangerine essential oil can help heal digestive complaints by fighting bacterial growth in the stomach. Many believe that the smell of tangerine oil is calming when one is overexcited or stressed.

In aromatherapy, tangerine oil can be used to inspire and bring renewed energy to those who use it. It can be supportive in easing tension, fear, sadness, irritability, and even insomnia.

The benefits of Tangerine essential oil:

• antiseptic
• antispasmodic
• cytophylactic (protects cells)
• depurative (blood purifier)
• diuretic
• hynotic
• relaxant
• sedative
• stomachic (helps the stomach, improves appetite)     

Contraindications: As with all citrus essential oils, should not be applied to the skin before exposure to strong sunlight.

Overall my heart belongs to tangerine! (Frank Sinatra)

Enjoy!

Many Blessings,
