wild orange essential oil

Wild Orange is a doTERRA favourite for its fresh, invigorating aroma.
It also has a variety of uses from aiding the digestive system to energising the mind and body.
Part of its appeal is thanks to its chemical makeup—Wild Orange has a high amount of monoterpenes, which gives the oil purifying and stimulating qualities that can help enhance immunity. The orange rind is also full of antioxidants that help maintain overall health.

Wild Orange Oil Uses and Benefits

1. Possibly one of the most distinct characteristics of Wild Orange essential oil is its powerful scent.

To harness the purifying power and aroma of Wild Orange essential oil, place a few drops on your air filter at home. This will improve your home’s scent while simultaneously purifying the air. 
   
   
2. The purifying properties of Wild Orange essential oil are not only useful for cleansing the air, but you can also use the oil to cleanse surfaces around the home. Similar to Lemon essential oil, Wild Orange essential oil can be used to wipe down frequently used surfaces around the home when you want to cleanse and purify them. Not only is Wild Orange helpful for purifying your kitchen table, countertop, or anything your family might use frequently throughout the day, but it can also be useful when cleaning the bathroom.
