Mandarin
Latin name: Citrus Nobilis
Part used: Fruit peel
Origin: Italy
Extraction method: cold-pressed
Use: for external use only (never ingest), suitable for fragrance burners/diffusers, dilute in a fragrance-neutral carrier oil for use in a (foot)bath and on the skin (undiluted essential oil can irritate sensitive skin).
Mandarin Essential Oil is obtained from Citrus Reticulata by cold-pressing the peel. Mandarin Petitgrain oil is also obtained in small quantities by steam distillation of the leaves and twigs. The oil is golden yellow-orange and has the scent of a fresh orange. A whole group of citrus fruits falls under the umbrella of mandarins, including Satsuma, Clementine, Dancy, Honey, Pixie, and mandarins.
This oil is very mild and would therefore be used for the treatment of even children and pregnant women, one of the few oils used in this way. With its strengthening and stimulating effect on both the stomach and the liver, it is useful for digestive problems.
Mandarin oil is also good for the treatment of acne, oily skin, and pimples. It should also help alleviate problems such as fluid retention and obesity. The oil, diluted approximately 1-2% in a carrier oil, is gently massaged onto a child's abdomen to relieve stomach pain. A few drops in the bath calms hyperactive children. Used in an oil burner, it dispels depression and relieves feelings of anxiety.
Mandarins are so called because they were traditionally offered as gifts to the mandarins of China. In France, the mandarin is considered a safe remedy for treating indigestion in children and the elderly, because it helps strengthen the digestive system and the liver. Native to Southern China and the Far East, the mandarin was brought to Europe in 1805 and to America in 1845.
