Wild Orange Essential Oil

Wild Orange Essential Oil is number 2 on my most favorite list of oils. I LOVE its fresh scent! There are several ways to use it. Here are a few of my favorites…

ALERTNESS - A drop of Wild Orange and Peppermint inhaled from your hands is the perfect afternoon pick-me up. Wild orange was one of my favorites during my pregnancy. Being pregnant there are days where I was just plum tired... it’s a thing. Its citrusy scent is invigorating and uplifting and during pregnancy, when you’re am not supposed to be drinking a large amount of coffee, I definitely took advantage of what I could! A couple of drops in my palms and 5-10 deep inhalations of this – ooo so good!

MOOD - I have found that this particular oil is a really good mood lifter for me. There is just something about its clean citrus scent that puts me in a great mood. It reminds me of sunshine in the morning, when the day is all fresh, new and dewy. I actually put 2-3 drops of Wild Orange and Lavender on my pillow at night for a happy restful sleep.

COOKING / FLAVORING - I use it in my water (1 drop) and in cooking. So the other day made Orange-Blueberry Coffee cake and I used Wild Orange in my batter. Yup - You can ingest this oil from doTERRA. I also use it in my Orange Marmalade. By the way, that coffee cake was AMAZING!!!

PREGNANCY – “When you are ready to give birth, I recommend two oils be in your birth bag: Wild Orange and dōTERRA Balance. Both are incredible at easing anxiousness.” - Stephanie Fritz - You can bet those were in my birth bag! I had a very long labor with my first child and I remember how exhausted I was. I used this to keep calm and stay focused. I also used this on my pregnancy pillow at night with Lavender for a refreshing and relaxing nights sleep.
