Over a decade ago I fell in love with Clementine Oil. As
complex and multi-layered as a good Red Mandarine, but sweeter.
The sweetness of Sweet Orange Rind or Tangerine, but more subtle.
Almost a touch of floral to it. I love this deep reddish
orange oil, but... the Spanish producer of that first, organic
Clementine stopped producing it. And I won't use, or offer,
non-organic cold pressed Citrus oils. So we have been without this
delight for years. It is a species of Tangerine, for those who
have never experienced it, gentle and safe enough to use with
toddlers. A mild photosensitizer, and like all citrus oils,
mildly irritating to the skin, so I would be very cautious about on
the skin use, but ah, for the aroma lamp or diffuser it is a joy.
Relaxing, not energizing, it fills the room with calm, quiet,
and peace. |

The effects and action of traditional Bitter Orange Petitgrain,
but with a softer, sweeter, more noticeably
citrus-floral scent.
This is my current favorite oil. This Clementine Petitgrain is the
closest substitute I have found to true Clementine Rind that I've
found when we are unable to source the organic rind oil..
I've been using it in the aroma lamp, for when I don't want to be
energized, but just lifted up a little bit. I find it emotionally
encouraging, I can't find another word for it. Blended with Vetiver,
it works wonderfully as an anti-anxiety and grounding synergy. I
like to use a drop before a nap. Pleasant dreams!
Like any Petitgrain Essential Oil, this is an emotionally a
powerful oil, calming anxiety and panic,
acting as an antidepressant. Physically, it tends to be a
sedative, which agrees with its relaxing effect on the mind. Some
authorities recommend it for treating rapid heartbeat, and for
insomnia. I have also seen it used in recipes for
deodorant blends.
If you want the uplifting smile bringing effects of a
citrus oil,
without energizing and with no risk of photosensitization, you owe
it to yourself to try this beauty!
