In Chinese culture, the tangerine fruit established its name
as an emotional cleanser, as it was often used to keep negative emotions at
bay. During spring when most people were bubbling with joy and embracing the spring-cleaning
bug, the tangerine fruit was freshly picked and placed in every room to set the
tone and encourage positivity.
Much can be said about the oil today. Tangerine essential oil
plays on the emotions to dispel irritability, mood swings, frustration, and
bursts of anger.
Cold-pressed from the peel of the fruit, tangerine oil is
useful for digestive issues, including constipation, flatulence, and bloating.

Relieves Stomach Discomfort and Uneasiness
An upset stomach isn’t fun, especially when you have places to
go. Tangerine oil is a great digestive and carminative. Are you always bloated?
Do you often suffer from indigestion after a sumptuous meal? Tangerine oil
removes the discomfort from your day by quieting your upset stomach so that you
can continue with your day’s activities.
Soothes Nervous Tension
Make a distressing situation less intense and grueling on your
psychological health. If you’re tense, irritable, and stressed, tangerine
essential oil is a great option to soothe nervous tension.
Instead of constantly wearing a frown, tangerine essential oil
relaxes the face and, more importantly, give your mental and emotional health a
break.
Helps Insomniacs Sleep
Toss and turn no more in bed, but sleep like you’ve never
before. This sweet-fruity volatile oil gets you to wind down and silences
restlessness.
Its rich limonene content boasts sedative and relaxant actions
to ensure you get the slumber of your life. With a healthier sleep pattern,
you’ll have more brain power and alertness to overcome the demands of a
bustling day. Tangerine essential oil works great with our Sweet Dreams blend.
Wakes Up Sluggish Circulation
Get blood flowing properly in the body, especially if you work
jobs that require standing or sitting for an extended period of time.
Tangerine oil also works against fluid retention, which wards
off swelling in various parts of the body. As fluid retention does cause weight
gain, encouraging blood flow through the use of tangerine might even help you
shed a few pounds.
Spiritual Awareness
Are you prone to slipping into a dark place where your
emotions reek of negativity? The lively, cheerfulness of tangerine can pull you
out.
Tangerine essential oil endorses courage, cheerfulness, and creativity.
When you feel overwhelmed and entrapped by the shackles of the mind, the oil’s
uplifting embrace is liberating.
With tangerine’s aromatic influence you are spontaneous, emboldened,
and ready to break free from the cage you’ve placed yourself in.
When you tap into creative energy and positive vibration, your
life is instantaneously imbued with fun, laughter, and a booming imagination.
If you’ve lost that innocent spark that you once had as a child, tangerine
essential oil brings you back to moments of lightheartedness.
Frazzled Nerve, Pick-me-up Blend
Add
all the oils to your diffuser or according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. An
alternative is to enjoy a nervous restorative and stimulating massage by
combining your essential oils in 30 ml of extra virgin olive oil. Use to
massage the chest and back region.
For pregnant women, use with caution by using fewer drops of
essential oils. A single drop of each oil in a teaspoon of olive oil goes a
long way. Best practice is to use after the 3rd trimester. Alternatively,
stick to the diffuser option.
Avoid using if epileptic or prone to convulsions.
Scar Reduction Face Serum
Combine your oils together. Use twice daily. Recreate this
blend as often as needed.
Stomach Upset and Indigestion Blend
