Tangerine Essential Oil is cold pressed
from the fruit of the tangerine tree.
The plant
originated in China, and brought to Europe in 1805, then to
North America where much of the world's Tangerine essential
oil is produced.
This wonderfully sweet, fresh and
citrusy top-note essential oil is thought to promote
happiness, and help with nervousness and anxiety.
For
support of the nervous system, use in a diffuser or oil warmer
to surround yourself with the aroma. The aroma is very popular
with children, and can have the same relaxing effect as for
adults.
In addition, tangerine can be beneficial to
the skin, thought to help stretch marks and have
a positive effect on cellulite. This effect of tangerine essential oil may
take some time and patience!
Again, dilute in a
carrier oil and apply to the skin. Repeat daily for a period
of weeks to months.
Like other citrus oils, tangerine may be photosenstizing,
and should not be applied to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight.
"If you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin."
