Tangerine Essential Oil

Citrus Reticulata

Tangerine essential oil is a "feel good" kind of oil that helps soothe your nervous system, detoxifies your body and reduces stress and tension ... all of which can help with weight loss.

It stimulates a positive mood by calming your mind and easing any feelings of anxiety, nervousness or irritability leaving you feeling invigorated.

It will also promote normal digestive function and even assist with stretch marks, cellulite, and fluid retention.  

What is Tangerine Essential Oil?

Let's start with some basic information; a brief description of where the oil comes from, what it contains and how it is obtained. The following information is provided by Bill Fifield in his book "Integrated Guide to Essential Oils & Aromatherapy".

This is a book that I highly recommend by the way.

Suggested Uses

Digestive System

Much like lemon and orange, Tangerine oil can be used to promote normal digestive function:

• Dilute a couple drops to 50:50 with carrier oil and massage on your abdomen to promote normal digestive function. This same blend works well in preventing spasms when applied to overworked muscles.
• Blend Tangerine with a carrier oil 25:75 in a "gelatin cap" and consume. Gelatan caps are available through Amazon
• Add 1-2 drops of Tangerine oil in your drinking water twice daily to detoxify and cleanse your digestive system as well as support normal circulatory functions.
• Tangerine can be inhaled to treat gastric upset, hiccoughs and nausea. Simply put a few drops in your palm or on a tissue and inhale deeply

Eliminate Toxins

Tangerine oil can be used to detoxify and release fluid retention from your body. Mix equal parts with a carrier oil and massage all areas of concern.

Emotional Balance

Try pampering yourself with a hot bath using 15 drops of tangerine oil in a cup of Epsom salts. Add the combination slowly to the water after filling the tub so the aroma will be released gradually.

Aromatically, tangerine oil can help provide a positive mood by calming your mind and body. It will help dismiss any feelings of anxiety, nervousness, and irritability:

• Diffusing 20 drops into the air will soothe your nervous system and reduce stress and tension which are major enemies to weight management
• Rub 2-3 drops of diluted Tangerine oil into your palms and inhale when you are feeling nervous or are experiencing uneasy feelings

Insomnia

Tangerine Essential Oil can help you with Insomnia by calming your mind and body.

Apply 2-3 drops of oil on a tissue and place it on your pillow when you go to bed to uplift your mood, relieve nervousness, and dismiss those unwanted thoughts.

See "Emotional Balance" above for more information

Scarring

Tangerine Essential Oil is rich in vitamin C which is known to promote collagen in the body. Collagen is a key component of your body tissues including your skin so increased collagen accelerates healing and reduces scarring.

See "Skin Treatment" below for application instructions.

Skin Treatment

Tangerine essential oil can be used to treat skin conditions such as:

• acne
• scars
• stretch marks and
• oily skin

Add 1-2 drops of Tangerine oil to each application of your lotion/creams and apply normally to help with stretch marks, cellulite, and fluid retention. Alternatively you can apply tangerine essential oil undiluted on small areas or in a 50:50 blend with carrier oils for larger areas.

Stress Management

Tangerine Essential Oil calms your mind and eliminates feelings of anxiety, irritability and stress.

Tangerine works on the mind through inhalation so can be diffused, inhaled off of a Kleenex or rubbed into your palms and inhaled deeply.
