Sweet Orange is a fragrance and flavour popular throughout the world in cosmetics and cookery alike. The essential oil extraction process squeezes tiny pockets found in the skin of the fruit, releasing a soft, sweet orange smelling essential oil.
Orange is popular as a digestive tonic and can be massaged on to the skin with a carrier oil to help improve digestive function, particularly after indulging in high fat foods.
The familiar fragrance of orange is cheering to the spirit and will help to release anxiety and encourage feelings of joy.
