Fresh, sweet orange essential oil is fruity and light.
Although the orange tree originated in Asia (the sweet orange is known in German as "Chinese apple"), it is widespread in warm countries: the Mediterranean region, North Africa, China, South Africa, and Australia. The Washington Navel variety, which originated in Brazil in 1820, flooded the market; Brazil is the world's leading exporter of orange juice.
This essential oil is HEBBD (Botanically and Biochemically Defined Essential Oil).
Take a maximum of 2 drops of sweet orange essential oil 3 times a day on a Puressentiel neutral tablet (or 1 teaspoon of honey, olive oil, or 1/4 of a sugar cube). Do not use pure sweet orange essential oil undiluted or mixed with water.
For further usage advice, consult your pharmacist.
