Mandarin Oil

Known for promoting calmness and uplifting the mood, mandarin essential oil, a close cousin of tangerine, is so mild it can be used safely in aromatherapy for the elderly and for children.

Health Benefits:

Sweetly tangy, pure mandarin oil also has stress relieving properties, is effective for relieving insomnia and anxiety, and is a highly effective anti-spasmodic. In recognition of this, it is often used in hospitals as a sedative agent.
