Blood Orange Essential Oil (2 For $25)

This oil is part of our 2 for $25 Collection. Buy any two oils in this collection and apply the code 2for25 upon checkout.

Description: Blood Orange has a bright and sparkly citrus aroma which can be described as fruity, tangy, sweet, and zesty. It is just like cutting into a juicy, fresh orange! It has a more intense and complex aroma than its cousin, Sweet Orange, yet it has many of the same therapeutic properties. It is a middle note of medium aroma.

Benefits & Uses:

• Uplifting and exhilarating to the senses, Blood Orange makes the perfect choice to give your mood or energy a boost and to inspire a positive outlook. Try it in one of our aromatherapy inhalers for an afternoon pick-me-up at work or school. 
• Although considered an invigorating oil, it is also calming to the nervous system and is used in many aroma blends for easing nervous tension and stress.
• With a high limonene content, it makes a great antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral agent. For this reason, Blood Orange makes a great addition to DIY cleaners and disinfecting sprays. Diffuse it in your home to combat unwanted germs.
• Can aid a variety of digestive issues thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties.
• Being an immunostimulant, Orange Oils can help support a healthy immune system during cold and flu season.
• Can be used as a romantic oil for sensual blends.
