In reminiscing about Orange essential oil, one big memory
is my class in 1998 at Purdue University, an International
Study in Advanced Aromatherapy. Each of us was required to
present a paper to complete the course. Being from Florida at
the time, I thought Orange Oil would be a good choice. It also
meant I could go on a fun field trip, if I could find a place
in Florida that processed Orange Oil.
Well, this was a challenge since the orange business in
Florida is mainly about selling the fruit, juice, and
concentrate. But belief, prayer, and persistence paid off. I
found a processing plant near La Belle that arranged for me to
have a personal tour of the whole operation. What a gift and
fun day!
Most essential oils are steam distilled which is a fairly
simple process that has been around since mankind started
playing with fire and water. Citrus oils go through a more
complex process of being cold pressed, separated, and
centrifuged.
The Orange originated in China, and the tree came to
Florida with the Spanish. The Native Americans continued the
cultivation. The tree is such a gift of Good Medicine, giving
us the fruit as a healthy food full of vitamin C and natural
fiber, and three essential oils for pleasure and health. Sweet
Orange oil is cold pressed from the fruit (the most popular of
the oils). Petitgrain comes from the distillation of the
leaves and twigs (often used in skin and hair products).
Exquisite Neroli comes from the Orange Blossom and is a
favorite in perfumes. From food to aromas...there is so much
to enjoy!

So... what to do with Orange essential oil? It brings a
sweetness to wherever it roams.
To simply enjoy and benefit from the aroma...carry around a
little 4 ml. bottle of the pure oil for inhalation, put some
on a cotton ball to keep with you, or use in a diffuser. To
rub on the skin, combine with a base oil (like Organic Golden
Jojoba). Keep it at a 1 to 2% dilution.
Orange and Lavender are a wonderful combination to use in a
diffuser or combine in a blend. These are favorite aromas of
most people. Good to use in your office or home. They are
welcoming, warming and comforting....a safe place to be.

Whenever we pass around Orange Oil in my classes, memories
of Christmas time are always among the "nose-brain"
connections. Helen Keller said: "Smell is a potent wizard that
transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we
have lived."
For most people the pure aroma of genuine Orange Oil is
pleasant and makes them smile. The sweet and nurturing effect,
warms the heart and soothes the emotions. I call Orange the
"Natural Tranquilizer". However, one of the lessons essential
oils teach us is to honor the individuality in all of us. Even
though the natural chemistry of Orange Oil is calming...one
man in class, wrinkled up his nose and groaned "Oh, I hate
this." He was brought up in an orange grove in Avon Park,
Florida, and his father "made" him pick oranges. So as Helen
Keller said, it transported him across many miles and years.
We took the Orange away from him immediately and gave him
Lavender.
We need all the nurturing and comfort we can get in this
day and age. This is why I include Orange in the top five
essential oils in The Good Medicine Tin®. It is good for
calming stress and anxiety, slowing us down, and aids
digestion and sleep. Children love it. Orange is in our OLA #3
Blend with Lavender and Peppermint. This is good for belly
rubs, and calming massages...children too. Orange, in our
Precious Christmas Oil formula, adds a sweet touch to the
Pine, Cinnamon and Clove. Sugar and spice...and everything
nice!
Orange (and all citrus oils) should not be used straight on
the skin. It can burn sensitive skin. Use it straight in a
diffuser or on a cotton ball. Always combine it in a base,
like Organic Golden Jojoba, to apply to the skin.
Orange is one of the most agreeable aromas. Use it in a
diffuser in your room, car and office. May you add sweetness
to your holiday environment, today and everyday.
