ZenSuous 100% Pure Essential Oil – Orange Sweet 15ml
You may be most familiar with orange essential oil as a food flavoring agent or an ingredient in some cleaning supplies. And though research on effectiveness for health purposes is limited, orange essential oil may also be useful in easing stress and anxiety (when used as aromatherapy) and improving acne (when used topically).
Zen Suous Sweet orange essential oil comes from Citrus sinensis, the oranges you are used to eating. It is derived from the fruit, especially the rind. It is mostly used in aromatherapy but has been studied for topical application (applied to the skin).
There are other types of orange essential oils you may come across. Bitter orange essential oil comes from the rind of the fruit of Citrus aurantium. It is used in aromatherapy, topical application, and internal use (in capsules).
Other types of orange essential oil include neroli oil (from the flowers of Citrus aurantium), petigrain oil (from the leaves of Citrus aurantium), mandarin oil (Citrus reticulata Blanco), and bergamot oil (Citrus bergamia Risso and Piot)
Breathing in the scent of sweet orange essential oil may help alleviate anxiety, suggests a 2012 study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.2 The study, involving 40 male volunteers, looked at the effects of sweet orange essential oil when inhaled at different concentrations (2.5, 5, and 10 drops).
Stress was then measured using the Stroop Color-Word Test, which measures the speed by which a person can read words or identify colors. (Increased cognition is generally recognized as a marker for stress alleviation.)
According to the research, men exposed to orange essential oil had less anxiety, greater alertness, and a more positive mood than those offered non-aromatic water. Despite delivering calming effects, the investigators did not find any evidence that inhaling orange essential oil altered physiological functions like blood pressure or heart rate.
