Enjoying a warm, sunny afternoon as the day slowly drifts and the moment soothes can carry us into a calmer evening. Tangerine’s soft and sweet aroma invites peace and is more delicate than many citrus oils.
Rich with sedative and relaxant properties, Tangerine consoles the body and mind. Herbalists have long used Tangerine tree leaves in tea to help the body find peaceful rest while soothing the digestive tract. It is a favorite aroma amongst perfumers for its subtle yet delightful aroma. Tangerine is often an ingredient in confectionary, beverages, chewing gum and baked goods.
Native to Asia, Tangerine trees grow up to 25 feet and sprout fragrant white flowers that develop into orange fruits. To extract the essential oil, Tangerine peels are removed and put through a cold press process. Blending Tangerine with Clove or your favorite citrus oil can be an incredible addition to massage oils.
