Organic orange essential oil has a wonderful scent and it has many, many uses. It is commonly used in treating constipation, flatulence, detoxification, cold, flu, digestive problems, water retention, insomnia and nervous tension. It is also used as an anti-septic.
You see the advertisements everywhere for cleaning products using the power of orange. I find organic orange essential oil to work much better when you make your own products using it. For example; do you need to freshen your toilet or garbage disposal? I simply place a few drops in, flush and rinse and voila, a wonderful and clean aroma. I also clean my jewelryusing orange essential oil. I add 15 drops to an ounce of hydrogen peroxide and let my jewelry soak. My diamonds shine as they did when I first got them.
I found another great use for the wonderfully fragrant, Orange Essential Oil. I am now making my own jewelry cleaner!
All I did was mix about 4-5 drops of Orange Essential Oil with 2 ounces of witch hazel. Remember, essential oils do not mix well with water, but if you vigorously shake or stir (not it’s not a martini, so don’t drink it), it will work just fine. I put my rings into the mixture and let them soak, occasionally removing and scrubbing with a very soft toothbrush (and then rinse off with water). My rings just sparkle!
