If
you delight in the
scent of citrus then you will
love Red Mandarin oil. It is
sweet and faintly floral
like orange blossoms. A
descendant of the indigenous
fruit from South China Red
Mandarin is also a European
ancestor to the American
Tangerine. A dark citrus oil Red
Mandarin is deep orange or
almost red in color. This
particular specimen is very
warm, and
acts to
sooth and balance the
heart energy center.
Although
its aroma is much more complex
and multi-layered Red
Mandarin has similar actions and
uses as Tangerine, and if often
recommended to be
used interchangeably in your
aromatherapy blends.
Mandarin oil is
very
gentle and may be used with young
children and during pregnancy,
and often used by midwives in
the birthing room.
Mandarin
essential oil is effective for
relieving insomnia,
and is being used in hospitals,
and medical centers throughout
the U.S. as a calming agent, and
has been found useful for
alleviating nausea,
similar in action as ginger and
peppermint pure essential oils.
Red Mandarin's
antiseptic action
makes it useful as a room spray,
try it in a blend with other
citrus oils, lavender and ylang
ylang!
BLEND WITH:
Clary Sage, Rose
Geranium,
Lavender, Sandalwood, Vetiver
and
Ylang Ylang.
CAUTION: Though Mandarin is helpful for treating dry skin conditions care
should be taken when using it in skin applications as it is mildly
phototoxic, please avoid exposure to direct sunlight or sunlamps for up to 3 hours
after use as pigmentation of the skin may result.
