SWEET ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL

The sweet orange essential oil is extracted through the pressing of the peels, one of the classic and most natural methods of extracting essential oils. The properties of sweet orange essential oil are mainly relaxing and digestive, almost identical to those of bitter orange, but sweet orange is more delicate, less astringent, and suitable for children, the elderly, and more sensitive individuals.

Uses of sweet orange essential oil

• Aromatherapy: add two to three drops to an essential oil diffuser and diffuse it in the environment. Inhaling the oil is an excellent and quick way to obtain its properties
• Topical use: by mixing it with a base oil (such as almond and sesame), we can create massage oils to be applied directly to the skin.
• Foot baths, baths, and steams, always adding two drops of oil to the solutions

The essential oils for sale online on terzaluna.com are classified as food supplements. This attests to their excellent quality. They are naturally extracted essential oils, without the use of any solvent, but only through natural methods such as pressing, percolation, or steam distillation. Third Moon essential oils can also be used orally, but you must be careful about the quantities ingested. Never exceed two drops per day. This is because an essential oil is a very potent concentrate that, if taken in quantities greater than two drops per day, can be hepatotoxic.

Contraindications of sweet orange essential oil

For external use only. Prolonged use of the essential oil on the skin, especially on the face, may not be recommended. It should not be used before sun exposure for tanning, as it would make the skin sensitive and prone to cracking or even severe burns.
