Botanical Name:
Citrus sinensis
Plant Part: Crude Fruit Peel
Extraction Method: Cold Pressed
Origin: Italy
Description:
Blood Orange essential oil has a warm, fresh citrus scent, radiant, fruity
and tangy. More intensely aromatic than the sweet orange we are familiar
with, Blood Orange adds a sparkling citrus note to blends. The blood
orange has streaks of red in the fruit, and when squeezed the juice is
often reddish.
Therapeutically, it is very similar to
sweet orange in
its uses, although considered the most antidepressant of the citrus oils.
Antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, carminative,
cordial, deodorant, digestive, stimulant (nervous), tonic (cardiac,
circulatory). Blends well with
lavender,
lemon,
clary sage,
myrrh and spicy oils
such as
cinnamon
and
clove.
History: Also known as Maltese Orange, the
fruit originated in India (some say Vietnam) and was called na rangi in
Sanskrit. The na rangi or naranja was translated as norange, and in English
usage a norange was back-formed into the more acceptable an orange. The same
thing happened in French and Italian, but in Spanish it is still naranja.
Cautions: No known toxicity. Avoid exposure
to sunlight after skin application due to possible photo toxicity.
