Read on for more about why we love this oil and ways to use it daily...

Orange essential oil is rich in limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall. Citrus oils are also known for stimulating creativity, so this is a great oil to diffuse while working, during homework or during arts and crafts.

Start your day with a burst of liquid sunshine by diffusing Orange in the morning. Orange is delightful on its own, or you can combine it with complementary oils such as Grapefruit, Cinnamon, Neroli, and Patchouli. Orange Vitality essential oil has a sweet, citrusy flavor and provides digestive and immune support when taken internally.

BACKGROUND & SOURCING Originally native to Asia, orange trees are now cultivated around the world, including in France, Germany, and the United States. An evergreen plant, mature orange trees can reach a height of 30 feet. Known as liquid sunshine, Orange essential oil has a sweet and uplifting aroma that brightens any room and cleanses the air when diffused.

KEY CONSTITUENTS *Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

• Limonene: known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
• Myrcene: boasts emotional soothing properties as well as immune bolstering properties.

ORANGE & EMOTIONS Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Diffuse, apply, or add it to your favorite emotional support oils in a roller.

Citrus oils in general are wonderful for emotional support. Citrus oils contain Limonene, a potent free radical scavenger. When there is less physical oxidative stress in the body, then there are less negative emotions. Citrus oils also contain compounds that boost your mood by increasing calming neurotransmitters in the brain.
