About mandarin essential oil

The history of the use of mandarin essential oil since ancient times. The Chinese have used mandarin for centuries, and in ancient times it was believed to support a healthy digestive system and liver. In France, mandarin is considered effective for digestive problems in children and the elderly, such as indigestion and hiccups. When used correctly, mandarin essential oil is considered the mildest and safest essential oil.

Tangerine essential oil is obtained by cold pressing the peel. Mandarin can be green, yellow and red. It depends on the degree of ripeness: green - cold pressed unripe fruit, yellow - partially ripe fruit and red - fully ripe fruit.

Tangerine essential oil has a wonderful sweet orange-like aroma that when inhaled deeply creates a sense of calm and serenity. In France, mandarin essential oil is often called "baby remedy". It is very effective to use the essential oil for children who are anxious, hyperactive and overexcited or have trouble sleeping, as well as for treating digestive problems in children and adults.

Application of mandarin essential oil

Both traditional and modern uses of mandarin essential oil relate to the digestive system. Tangerine is a carminative, helps to get rid of hiccups, regulates metabolism, calms the intestines, and is a tonic for digestion.

Unlike many citrus essential oils, mandarin essential oil is not phototoxic, making it safe to use in the sun. Mandarin essential oil can be used in a skin toner, especially for oily, acne-prone skin.

On an emotional level, mandarin essential oil is invigorating and refreshing, induces a sense of calm and safety, and can help with mental and emotional stress. The aroma reminds of childhood, safety and happiness.
