Australian Mandarin Pure Essential Oil

1. Mandarin may be just the right fragrance to help with feelings of nausea during pregnancy. It is light and fresh without being too sharp. Mandarin is also useful for the prevention of stretch marks. It can be added to carrier oils such as olive, avocado, wheatgerm and jojoba and massaged daily into areas likely to be affected such as the thighs and belly.

2. Most children love essential oils and we can be assured that gentle Mandarin is safe for little ones. Mandarin has many useful properties that can help children stay happy and healthy. Most notable is Mandarin’s calming influence for children when they are upset or feeling a bit grumpy.

3. Mandarin is particularly useful for the treatment and care of oily and acne prone skin. Oily skin tends to be more common for teenagers and can occur in humid conditions. The bacteria that causes acne can thrive in oily skin. Debris becomes trapped in pores causing inflammation and further aggravates the issue. Mandarin may be useful as a gentle detoxifier and also has antimicrobial properties to help clear up infections that cause blemishes.

4. Mandarin is considered one of the more calming citrus essential oils. It is reported to have light sedating properties which makes it an excellent choice before bed. Mandarin can make a nice light change if you tend to use the same heavy sedative essential oils at night.

5. Mandarin essential oil is considered a tonic for overall digestive system health. For abdominal pains caused by cramps and wind the antispasmodic action can give relief. Mandarin is also considered and anti-inflammatory and may help ease digestive upset caused by allergies or other inflammation. The essential oil can help stimulate the gallbladder and support good digestion.

6. Mandarin is an uplifting aroma and yet it has a lovely soft quality that is comforting and nurturing. Mandarin is excellent to help combat stress levels without being too sedating. The sweet scent helps dispel gloominess when we are disappointed or frustrated. Like its aroma, Mandarin seems to gently smooth out life’s minor troubles and worries.
