Description Mandarin Essential Oil is obtained from Citrus Reticulata, by cold compression of the peel. The oil is golden yellow-orange and has the aroma of a fresh orange. An entire group of citrus fruits come under the umbrella of Mandarin oranges, including Satsuma, Clementine, Dancy, Honey, Pixie, and tangerines. This oil is very gentle and is historically used in treating children and pregnant women. With its tonic and stimulating effect on both the stomach and the liver it is helpful for digestive problems. Mandarin oil is also useful for treating acne, oily skin, and spots. It is supposed to help ease problems such as fluid retention and even obesity. The oil, diluted around 1-2% in a carrier oil, is massaged gently on a child’s tummy to relieve a tummy ache. A few drops in the bath calms hyperactive children. Used in an oil burner, it dispels depression and relieves anxiety. 10ml
