TANGERINE OIL can benefit the immune system, the skin and our emotions. It’s an anti-inflammatory, a digestive aid, an anticoagulant a creativity enhancer and a mood uplifter. It’s also a stress eraser. WILD ORANGE, like it’s smaller cousin, shares antidepressant, antibacterial, digestive, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It goes without saying, but please be sure to use 100% pure oil that’s guaranteed to be free of pesticides, herbicides, contaminants, synthetic fillers, etc. since you will be ingesting it! You could zest an orange or a tangerine, but the pure oil is much stronger and more flavorful because it takes about seventy fruits to make just one drop of oil.
