Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil is a real therapeutic powerhouse. It is thought to possess anti-cancer, anti-ageing, anti-arthritic, anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, antispasmodic, anti-bacterial, antiseptic, and aphrodisiacal properties.

It is also believed to treat colds and flu, increase circulation, aid digestion, improve blood pressure, support lymphatic drainage, boost immunity, significantly help with detoxing the liver, improve chronic fatigue, treat oral and skin infections, and have a sedative effect.

Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil is very similar to Wild Orange Essential Oil as the fruits used to make these aromatherapy oils originate from the same species.

Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil is an important ingredient in FACIAL OIL No. 2, the leading Wild As The Wind face oil.

Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Organic Orange Oil is made from the peel of the fruit, which is very rich in oil content. As it is relatively straightforward to extract, and therefore not too costly to process, this makes Orange Essential Oil one of the most affordable essential oils available.

The healing properties of Organic Sweet Orange Aromatherapy Oil are so potent and the breadth of therapeutic applications is so extensive, Orange Oil is an invaluable essential oil to have on hand, at all times, in your emergency First Aid Kit.

Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil History

The orange tree originates from China, where the oil has been prized for thousands of years for its topical applications.

These days it is grown very successfully in temperate climates around the world. It is particularly common in Southern Italy, Spain and Portugal.

Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil For Anti-Ageing

Orange is amazing for the skin: it cleanses, it’s a decongestant, it rejuvenates and repairs the skin. Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil also promotes the formation of collagen. It is, therefore, a great anti-ageing and anti-wrinkle remedy in any blend of oils.

Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil Is Non-Toxic

However, it is critical to use an organic oil rather than a conventionally produced essential oil. Conventionally farmed fruit will have toxic residues from the pesticides, herbicides and larvicides that are routinely sprayed on the oranges as they are growing.

As Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil is extracted via a means of cold pressing the outer skin of the fruits this means that toxic residues from the chemical sprays will be present in Non-Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil in relatively high concentrations.

Citrus Fruit Phototoxicity

Citrus fruits are often toxic for other reasons even when they are organic.

Fruits such as Lemon, Grapefruit, Lime, Bergamot and Bitter Orange (Citrus × Aurantium, or Seville Orange), are five of the eight phototoxic essential oils which cause photo-sensitivity if applied during sun exposure or before using a tanning bed.

The general consensus regarding how long a person should wait before exposing themselves to direct sunlight, after applying a phototoxic oil, is 12 to 18 hours. It is also believed that a phototoxic reaction can continue to occur 36 hours after sun exposure has ended.

Thankfully, Sweet Orange Essential Oil is not in the least phototoxic so it can be used topically in the sun at any time of year.

Orange Essential Oil for Treating Serious Conditions

Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil is one of the best sources of D-Limonene, an extremely therapeutic constituent, clinically proven to be a potent cancer-fighting agent.

It also provides Sweet Orange Essential Oil with gastro-protective powers. D-Limonene is a powerful antioxidant that helps to fight the oxidative stress caused by free radical damage. Consequently, Sweet Orange Essential Oil also reduces inflammation.

Sweet Orange Essential Oil is composed of 90% D-Limonene, whereas Lemon has 20% less at 70% D-Limonene content, and Lime has 25% less at 65% D-Limonene content.

Myrcene constitutes between 0.5% to 3% of Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil. When coupled with D-Limonene the Myrcene Monoterpenes have proven to be effective in reducing tumours.

Research suggests that monoterpenes block mammary, skin, liver, lung, pancreas and stomach cancers. The ability to fight carcinogenesis is likely due to the induction of Phase II carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes, resulting in carcinogen detoxification. Monoterpenes also help induce apoptosis and growth-regulating proteins.

Dr. Axe

D-Limonene has been conclusively proven to be anti-tumour in many peer-reviewed scientific trials.

d-limonene exhibits antitumor activity by inducing autophagy and apoptosis in lung cancers… d-limonene is a plant extract with widespread application, and it has been recently reported to have antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects on cancer cells.

Since it helps stimulate the lymphatic system, liver, kidneys and bladder, it helps draw out toxins, excess sodium and waste from the digestive tract.
