What is Wild Orange Essential Oil?
Essential oils are the concentrated volatile oils that are extracted from a plant. Wild orange essential oil comes from the extract of the rind of the wild sweet orange (Citrus sinensis). Orange oil has a bright and refreshing scent that makes it one of the most versatile essential oils available.
Benefits of Wild Orange Essential Oil
Wild orange essential oil is a versatile oil with many benefits and potential uses. Here are some of the most common reasons people choose to use wild orange essential oil in their daily lives:
-
Relieves pain.
While some essential oils may help increase circulation or clear inflammation to relieve pain, orange essential oil changes our perception of pain. Researchers believe orange essential oil eases stress and the pain response so we experience our pain as less severe.
-
Enhances exercise performance.
Orange essential oil may help you be a better athlete. In one study, athletes who inhaled orange essential oil had faster running times and increased lung capacity.
-
Improves mood and relieves anxiety.
Orange oil (and many other citrus essential oils) is known for calming anxiety and lifting depression. To test this benefit, researchers looked at the effect this oil had on children stressed by having to go to the dentist. Children who were given orange oil aromatherapy before their visit had remarkably lower heart rates and stress hormone levels than the children who did not.
Orange essential oil helps adults overcome anxiety, too. One study showed that women in labor who inhaled orange essential oil reported less anxiety than those who did not.
-
Has antimicrobial properties.
Citrus oils are well-known for their antimicrobial properties. Studies show that orange essential oil can stop bacterial and fungal growth, even in resistant strains.
