Orange, Sweet

Sweet orange oil is extracted from the zest or peel of the fruit and has an intense orange scent that is sweet and fresh.  It is known for its calm and uplifting aroma and used to help improve melancholy emotions, nervous tension and offers immune support.  Orange oil is used in many household cleaning products due to its high limonene content.  The oil improves the smell of a musty or stale environment, and is a natural, eco-friendly alternative to chemical cleaners.
