Origin: The orange tree was originally a native of the Far East, particularly China and India. It was considered to be both rare and expensive and it is quite probable that the legendary golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides were in fact, oranges.The properties of orange overlap to a great extent with those of Neroli (derived from the orange blossom) and it can be used for antidepressant, or antispasmodic purposes. The essential oil is extracted by pressure from the outer parts of the peel and often both bitter and sweet oranges are used in this process

Source: Orange oil is now obtained from a variety of different sources including the Mediterranean, California, Israel and South America

Immune System: Orange can be used to help combat the symptoms of cold and flu

Skin care: Orange when diluted in Evening Primrose base oil can act as a livening agent for dull and oily complexions and when mixed with equal amounts of lemon and diluted is useful to treat mouth ulcers

Nervous system: It can be used as an alternative to Lavender to aid insomnia and can be used very effectively to combat nervous tension and stress related conditions

Digestive system: This oil can help with constipation, spasm and seems to have a normalising effect on the action of the intestines

Mixing Oils: Orange blends well with Lavender, Neroli, Lemon, Clary Sage and Myrrh and can be used to good effect with spice oils such as Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Clove
