What is Le Comptoir Aroma Sweet Orange Essential Oil 10ml used for?
The sweet orange is a small fruit tree in the Rutaceae family. Grown in warm regions, it produces edible oranges for 7 months of the year (October to April). The essential oil is extracted from the peel by cold pressing. Note that sweet orange (citrus sinensis) essential oil should not be confused with bitter orange (citrus aurantium) essential oil.
Comptoir Aroma'sSweet Orange Essential Oil is distinguished by its composition rich in limonene and myrcene, which give it important antimicrobial properties. This composition enables it to act effectively against a variety of pathogenic fungi, responsible for lung infections, and harmful bacteria. Its use in atmospheric diffusion is particularly recommended for purifying ambient air, reducing the presence of harmful micro-organisms and helping to create a healthier environment. This characteristic makes Sweet Orange essential oil ideal for use in enclosed spaces, where air quality is a major concern.
Thanks to its high limonene content, Sweet Orange essential oil has significant relaxing and anxiolytic effects. Its spasmolytic properties act on the nervous system, promoting muscular and mental relaxation. This oil is therefore particularly effective in reducing stress and anxiety and promoting restful sleep. Its pleasant, soothing aroma makes it a preferred choice in aromatherapy for creating an atmosphere conducive to relaxation and mental well-being, offering a natural escape from everyday tensions.
The limonene contained in Sweet Orange essential oil stimulates gastric motility, which has a beneficial effect on digestion. It relieves nausea and prevents gastric hyperacidity, contributing to improved digestive comfort. Its choleretic and cholagogic properties support liver function, promoting the production and elimination of bile, essential for fat digestion and liver detoxification. This action also facilitates the expulsion of intestinal gas, reducing discomforts such as bloating and abdominal pain.
In cosmetics, Sweet Orange essential oil is particularly appreciated for its beneficial effects on the skin. It helps improve skin tone and vitality, making it more luminous and energized. On an energetic level, this oil is recognized for fostering a sense of joy and stimulating creativity.
