ORANGE
Citrus sinesis

CHARACTER: Sunny
PRECAUTIONS: Orange oil must always be used in dilution in carrier oil at no more than 2% (4 drops in 10 ml). Do not use on the skin in direct sunlight. May cause skin irritation if used too strongly.

The warm and summery, citrus aroma of orange peel is a perfect balancer for a dull and cold winter. The oil will give cheer in a hot bath but must be used diluted in carrier oil at 2% (4 drops in 10 ml). A massage will help to relieve stress, especially when blended with marjoram.
