Can Sweet Orange essential oil be ingested?
  • Edens Garden does not recommend ingesting essential oils but instead use them topically, with a diffuser or steam inhaled. If you desire to ingest the oils we suggest using them only under the supervision of a certified aromatherapist and/or physician. Sweet Orange has shown benefits with calming the digestive tract and so if you do choose to ingest essential oils, the safest way recommended by trained aromatherapists is by creating a capsule by combining 1 drop of essential oil and topping the veggie capsule off with an edible carrier oil such as olive oil. Always take extreme caution when ingesting essential oils since essential oils are extremely concentrated and can cause burns on the esophagus and ulcerative conditions in the digestive tract.

  • Orange- Sweet essential oil has antioxidant, antiseptic and astringent properties leading it to be excellent for toning the skin and can help to prevent bacteria from creating acne prone conditions from spreading. It is excellent for all skin types: oily, dry and combination. It also helps to unblock stagnant energy, lifts mood and calmly energizes.
Is Sweet Orange essential oil phototoxic?
  • Sweet Orange essential oil is not phototoxic even though it is cold pressed. This is due to its lack of fourocoumarins found in other oils such as Bergamot, Grapefruit and Lemon. Many other citrus essential oils are phototoxic because they are cold pressed from the rinds of the fruit. To understand more about phototoxic essential oils, read this blog post. Also it is worth noting that since Citrus plants are heavily sprayed with pesticides, it is worth purchasing organic Citrus essential oils.
