Latin Name: Citrus Nobilis Part of Plant Used: Fruit Peel Source: Italy Extraction Method: Cold Expression Wholesale Mandarin Essential Oil is obtained from Citrus Nobilis, by cold compression of the peel. Mandarin Petitgrain oil is also extracted in small quantities by steam distillation of the leaves and twigs. The oil is golden yellow-orange and has the aroma of a fresh orange. An entire group of citrus fruits come under the umbrella of Mandarin oranges, including Satsuma, Clementine, Dancy, Honey, Pixie and tangerines. With its tonic and stimulating effect on both the stomach and the liver it is helpful for digestive problems. It is supposed to help ease problems such as fluid retention and obesity as well. The oil, diluted around 1-2% in a carrier oil, is massaged gently on a child's tummy to relieve a tummy ache. A few drops in the bath calms hyperactive children. Used in an oil burner, it dispels depression and relieves anxiety. The Mandarin oranges are so called, because they were traditionally offered as gifts to the Mandarins of China. Native to Southern China and the Far East, the Mandarin orange was brought to Europe in 1805 and to America in 1845. NB: Our Essential Oils are not suitable for internal use.
