Sweet orange is used by aromatherapists to improve moods and to
lower tension and stress. Other properties are antidepressant,
antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, deodorant, stimulant and
circulatory improvement. Sweet Orange is an uplifting and effective
natural deodorizer that works as an antidepressant and improves
concentration. In Feng Shui it is considered a prosperity oil. This oil
can be photosensitizing to very sensitive people, meaning it can amplify
the effect of sun exposure, so take care in skin applications before sun
exposure.
