Citrus sinensis

Sweet Orange is one of the most valuable essences to use for digestive complaints including nausea and vomiting, especially of biliary-type; constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and possibly weight loss through its effect on fats.*


Sweet Orange also has an affinity for the lymphatic system, bringing it into balance, which explains its success as a natural diuretic.*

  • Not generally toxic and has no particular contraindications. It is non-irritant and non-sensitizing; however, for those with particularly sensitive skin, you should be cautious as the limonene content could cause a mild dermatitis.
  • Though most citrus have some degree of photo-toxicity, Sweet Orange is relatively safe in that respect. It is still probably a good idea to limit the exposure of skin to the sun when applying this oil.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
