Wild Orange Essential Oil Uses and Benefits

1. Add a drop or two to a glass of water… still or sparkling, and hey presto! You’ll experience a delicious and refreshing taste.

2. Possibly one of the most distinct characteristics of Wild Orange oil is its powerful scent. The strong, sweet, citrus aroma of Wild Orange makes it useful for purifying the air, promoting and energising an uplifting environment, or simply creating a pleasant smell in the home. To harness the purifying power and aroma of Wild Orange oil, place a few drops on your air filter at home. This will improve your home’s scent while simultaneously purifying the air. 
    

3. The purifying properties of Wild Orange oil are not only useful for cleansing the air, but you can also use the oil to cleanse surfaces around the home. Similar to Lemon oil, Wild Orange oil can be used to wipe down frequently used surfaces around the home when you want to cleanse and purify them. Not only is Wild Orange helpful for purifying your kitchen table, countertop, or anything your family might use frequently throughout the day, but it can also be useful when cleaning the bathroom. Put three drops of Wild Orange in your bathroom sink or bathtub drains to help dispel any unpleasant odours or grime. Be sure to let the oil evaporate before you run the water.

Plant Description

Citrus sinensis is an evergreen tree, also commonly referred to as the Sweet Orange tree. As the name suggests, the tree bears sweet fruit that has many uses—juices, marmalades or jellies, and flavouring for sweets and baked goods. Though there are vast uses for the fruit itself, it is from the rind of the fruit that doTERRA Wild Orange oil is extracted through the process of cold pressing.  While the tree is thought to be native to Southeast Asia, doTERRA sources Wild Orange oil from the Dominican Republic. 

Chemistry of Wild Orange Essential Oil

Main Chemical Components: Limonene

The primary chemical constituent of Wild Orange oil, Limonene, is a monoterpene that is known for its cleansing properties when used as a skin or surface cleanser, as well as its stimulating and enhancing effects on mood when used aromatically. This chemical profile is why Wild Orange oil is so useful in everyday life. The cleansing properties of the oil make Wild Orange useful for homemade cleaning agents. The stimulating effects of Limonene also make Wild Orange oil popular for diffusing and topical application when users want to promote energising or uplifting feelings.
