Citrus Oils the Healing Treatment

Posted under Aromatherapy, General Health, Healing Touch - Mar 12th, 09

Citrus fruits are full of the essential oil we use to give or receive healing treatments.

I have listed a few of the oils and their use:

Oranges such as the ones known as ‘bitter’ or Seville are a source of three different oils known as Neroli. They all have a mellow and warming result when used.

Neroli is good oil that can be used for headaches and nervous tension or other stress related ailments. This essential oil brings peace during times that you are suffering from anxiety.

Grapefruit the essential oil taken from this healthy fruit is uplifting and can help to digest fatty foods. Good for congested pores and cellulite.

Lime the essential oil stimulates a sluggish system and is good as a tonic when used in massage or in the bath.

Mandarins are refreshing and cleansing. Good for digestive problems and irritations of the skin. Soothe indigestion and bring relief to nausea.

Lemons are antiseptic so they can act as a cleanser or a tonic for problems skin. Lemon boosts the immune system. Brings clarity  and calms down a person who may be frustrated.

Warning: Do a patch test if you have any allergies to citrus fruits.
