Sweet Orange is best known for its wonderful uplifting and calming scent. When diffused, it can help with nervous tension, sadness, and can also improve the aroma of a stale room. It can also help support normal function of the immune system. Try Sweet Orange and BE HAPPY!
Best Practices: Store this essential oil away from heat, light and moisture, with the cap tightly closed since it oxidizes readily and can irritate the skin if oxidized (spoiled). Discard unused portions after 6 months. In general, citrus oils do much better when kept refrigerated.

This EO is bursting with a sweet citrus scent. I love diffusing with Spruce in the kitchen. In fact I love adding the two to all of my all natural cleaning recipes. It just makes me so happy smelling it.
