When you want to whistle a happy tune, you can’t do better than diffusing orange essential oil! It’s one of the most cheerful oils, along with other members of the citrus family.
This abundant oil is amazingly cost-effective and is right up there for giving you the best value for money when buying essential oils. It’s as if Mother Nature wants to give us ways of caring for ourselves with oils no matter how tight our purse strings might be. She’s amazing.
Orange essential oil is cold-pressed from the rind of the Citrus sinensis fruit and sourced across the world from the United States to Italy, South Africa to China. Some essential oils are precious and rare, subject to seasonal shortages and supply challenges. Thankfully, orange isn’t one of those oils! Failing unimaginable extreme circumstances, you can count on orange to be there for you around the clock, from sunrise to slumber, and it’s awesome for supporting you in both these things.
Exceptionally high in the monoterpenes limonene (85-96%: you can check out a couple of studies here and here) and myrcene (up to 3%), orange essential oil is a fabulously potent antioxidant.
Young Living includes orange in its daily protective Longevity™ antioxidant softgels, along with clove (Syzygium aromaticum), frankincense (Boswellia carterii) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris). This gives you a super-convenient and easy way to tap into those antioxidant benefits by taking one softgel capsule a day! (You can join and order via this link. Search for products by name to add them to your cart.)
With its wide-ranging benefits for mind, body and soul, orange essential oil is a key ingredient in many of Young Living’s essential oil blends, supplements and food products. Here are just a few: Abundance™, Awaken™, Citrus Fresh™, Envision™, Peace & Calming™, Balance Complete™ (a nutritious protein meal replacement powder) and Slique Bars™ (excellent for supporting your ideal weight goals), Super C and ImmuPro.
*Orange oil can increase sun sensitivity so please do bear this in mind whenever applying topically. Give yourself a good 24 hours or more before exposing skin to UV. That said, orange oil is beautiful for the skin and has been found to help manage the appearance of sun-damaged skin, so don’t shun it: just be prudent and mindful of when and where to use orange oil and creams or massage oils you’ve mixed up with it.
And now, make the most of your Young Living Orange essential oil with our top 5 tips for infusing your wellbeing with this uplifting and relaxing beauty. You can order yours here.
BRIGHTEN YOUR MOOD
And everyone else’s! Diffuse orange oil regularly in your home and office to keep an upbeat but relaxed vibe. And does anyone not love the scent of oranges? A burst of happiness: guaranteed. Keep a bottle in your bag, too. Crack open the lid and inhale deeply when your soul needs a lift. You can also put a drop in your palms, smooth them together, cup over your nose and inhale deeply: fragrant, sweet-orange bliss!
ENHANCE ROMANCE
Traditionally, orange oil has been long considered to fan the flames of romance. Create your own massage oil from a pure carrier oil like Young Living V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Complex™ or olive, jojoba or sweet almond for instance. You can read up on carrier oils here. And remember to *take care with UV exposure after applying.
CLEANING THE HOME
We rave about Young Living Thieves Household Cleaner for all your needs around the home, but orange oil is also a cleaning champ! Add 10 drops or more of Young Living Orange oil to a spray bottle of water with a teaspoon of detergent, shake well before use, and voila: you have an all-purpose cleaner for bench tops and bathroom surfaces.

DIY timber furniture polish/nourisher Add 10 drops to a spray bottle with ¼ cup of olive oil and ¼ cup of vinegar. Use white vinegar for pale timbers and apple cider vinegar is great for darker timbers. Shake the bottle well before spraying, be generous and smooth off/buff with a soft, dry cloth. Repeat as needed. Do a small patch test first in an inconspicuous place just to be sure all is well. Sometimes surfaces might be oddly delicate or have been treated with something else that could react – unlikely but I wouldn’t want you writing in telling me your heirloom chest now has a mark on it!
Cutting boards Wash as you normally would, rinse, then spritz thoroughly with a blend of water and orange oil and dry with a paper towel or air dry to finish off and up the ante on freshness.
Freshening your fingers on the go Grab the Young Living Orange oil from your bag and rub a drop or two between your fingers to freshen them if you’re out and about and nowhere near hand wipes or soap and water!
NURTURING YOUR BODY
Whenever you’re feeling a bit weary all over or perhaps even feeling those follies from your youth catching up with you, the following surprisingly simple blend is your friend.
Blend pure carrier oil with orange essential oil and smooth this nurturing, sweetly fresh combo all over, including your hands, knees, shoulders and elbows, along with adding a few drops of Young Living Orange essential oil to your food and drink throughout each day. (Please note to only ever ingest essential oils when the label clearly says you can do so, as is the case with Young Living Orange Vitality oil.) And remember to *take care with UV exposure after applying it.
ORANGE-FRESH KISSES
DIY mouthwash with salty water (Himalayan or Celtic are beautiful) and a drop of orange essential oil. Swish and gargle for a lovely alternate to doing this with peppermint, spearmint or Young Living Thieves® Mouthwash. If you’re into coconut oil-pulling, you can also add a drop or two to your coconut oil to sweeten and freshen even more.
Not all oils are created equal. Far from it. Quality varies immensely, so please ensure you are choosing a brand with complete transparency from seed to seal, such as Young Living. Discover why we love them so much in this short video.
Essential oils are potent, so as always, please follow directions on the bottle and the usual guidelines for safe use of authentic essential oils.
