Orange, Sweet Essential Oil
Details
Sweet Orange Oil is a favorite with everyone. The scent creates balance and pleasure. Sweet Orange refreshes and relaxes and is used in massage formulas to de-stress. The sweetest orange scent comes from the Bitter Orange (Citrus aurantium). The sweet in Sweet orange refers to the juice of the orange which is the one we make into orange juice while the bitter orange juice is too bitter to drink, but it is made into marmalade. It is said that sweet orange increases bronchial secretion while bitter orange promotes expectoration. and both are stomachic and carminative. Here it seems the pressed oil is preferred because of no phototoxicity even with couramins present. It is more likely that the distilled sweet orange would cause phototoxicity?! If you weren't confused before, I bet you are now. I have never had a phototoxcity problem so I cannot report from my own findings just what I read in other references. Distilled oils often have antioxidants added to them to preserve their shelf life. The sweet orange flowers are used to make Neroli Portugal but it is not considered as good as the bitter orange neroli. Check your scientific names to make sure.
