By adding a few drops of Lemon oil to olive oil, you can create your own non-toxic furniture polish at home. When applied to furniture, Lemon oil leaves a clean shine, prevents fine wood finishes from drying out, and can replace lost moisture in antique woods as it penetrates worn finishes. When trying this polish on your own homemade furniture, always apply the polish in an inconspicuous spot before applying it to the entire piece. Take a look at our Wood Polish DIY to learn how to make your own.
   
   While Lemon can work wonders with wood furniture, it is also useful for maintaining leather furniture. It takes a lot of work and special care to preserve a leather couch or leather chair, but Lemon essential oil takes a lot of the work out of it for you with its preservative properties. Use a Lemon oil soaked cloth to wipe down your leather furniture to help preserve the piece, and prevent leather from splitting.

When seasonal changes start to bother you, try taking Lemon internally to assist with seasonal respiratory discomfort.* Aside from assisting with respiratory discomfort, Lemon oil can also be taken internally to naturally cleanse the body and aid in digestion.* When taking Lemon essential oil internally, dilute one drop on 4 fl. oz. of liquid. As mentioned above, you can also find creative ways to add Lemon to your water. Once you’ve discovered your preferred method for taking Lemon oil internally, you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of respiratory assistance and body cleansing.*
   
10. Stubborn, sticky residue used to be an annoyance, but with the help of Lemon essential oil, you can get rid of goopy messes without hours of scrubbing or the use of toxic chemicals. Did you peel the price tag off of your new water bottle, only to find a sticky residue left behind? Does your toddler’s fascination with stickers frequently result in an adhesive mess on the bedroom wall? Did your teenager leave behind a big sticky mess after making a PB&J sandwich five hours ago? Normally, these situations would mean a long night of scrubbing for you, with remnants of a sticky mess still left behind. However, adding a little Lemon oil to a rag will help you get rid of these messes (and others like them) in practically no time at all.

Tangerine Oil Product Description

Used throughout history in Chinese culture and herbal health practices, the tangerine fruit produces a tangy, sweet-smelling essential oil. Cold pressed from fruit of the Citrus reticulata tree, Tangerine oil contains antioxidants and can be used in a variety of recipes for its flavor. With a fresh scent and countless uses, this is a helpful essential oil to have in your collection.

Where to buy Tangerine oil?
To buy a pure bottle of Tangerine, visit the Tangerine oil product page. In order to receive the full benefits of essential oils, it is important to purchase oils that are pure and potent. Many essential oils available for purchase lack purity and potency and are riddled with filler substances and contaminants. At doTERRA, our mission is to provide high-quality essential oils that are free of harmful contaminants and fillers so that each essential oil can produce its full benefits. We ensure the purity and potency of our oils by putting each batch of oils through the CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® protocol. This protocol involves multiple intensive tests that determine the quality of each oil.

Tangerine Oil Uses and Benefits
To utilize the cleansing and purifying properties of Tangerine oil, consider using it in homemade cleaning agents. Adding a few drops of Tangerine to your homemade all-purpose spray will leave countertops and surfaces in the home fresh and clean. Not only will a DIY essential oil cleaning spray help you remove any grime from the surfaces around your home, it will also leave behind a lovely smell—especially if you use Tangerine oil.

If you are concerned about skin sensitivity, be sure to dilute the oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil before applying to reduce the risk of skin sensitivity or irritation.

Citrus essential oils like Lemon, Lime, and Wild Orange are commonly known for their stimulating, energizing effects when used aromatically. Like its citrus oil friends, Tangerine essential oil also holds uplifting properties during aromatic use. When you want to uplift or energize your mood, put one to two drops of Tangerine oil on your palm, rub your hands together, and place your hands over your nose for 30 seconds. If you prefer to enjoy the uplifting scent of Tangerine oil for a longer period of time, consider adding a few drops to your favorite essential oil diffuser and experience the refreshing aroma as it fills the room.

Plant Description
Tangerine fruit grows on the Citrus reticulata tree, an evergreen that bears bright orange, sweet citrus fruit and white flowers. Because of the sweet scent and taste of the tangerine fruit, it is commonly used for desserts, beverages, and spreads. The tangerine fruit is also frequently eaten plain, because it is easy to peel and considered a juicy, delicious snack. Tangerine essential oil is taken from the peel or rind of the tangerine fruit through the process of cold expression. While the process of steam distillation uses heat to extract essential oils from plants, the process of cold pressing extracts the oil from the rind of the fruit.

Chemistry of Tangerine Oil
Main Chemical Components: Limonene

Essential oils like Tangerine that have high levels of the monoterpene limonene are often known for their ability to have stimulating and enhancing effects on mood. The stimulating and mood-enhancing effects of tangerine can be experienced by using the oil aromatically—diffusing or inhaling the essential oil. When found in essential oils, limonene is also known for its cleansing and purifying properties, which makes it helpful for cleansing surfaces around the home.

Oils that Blend Well with Tangerine
As a sweet, citrus essential oil, Tangerine blends well with a variety of oils for diffusion. When you want to embrace the scents of fall, consider blending Tangerine oil with warm, spicy oils like Cinnamon Bark or Clove. You can also blend Tangerine oil with other citrus oils like Bergamot or Lemon for a bright, uplifting aroma. The tangy scent of Tangerine essential oil can also blend well with mint essential oils like Peppermint or Spearmint.

Cautions
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. Avoid sunlight or UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying product.

In honor of Respiratory Care Week, we’re highlighting one of our favorite essential oils for promoting feelings of clear breathing: Eucalyptus. Because of it’s powerful benefits, Eucalyptus oil is one of the key ingredients in doTERRA’s Breathe® blend. You may have also seen Eucalyptus on the ingredients list of many commercial products.

Although Eucalyptus is well known for its invigorating aroma, here are three lesser-known facts about Eucalyptus essential oil that make it particularly interesting:

1. The Eucalyptus plant originated in Australia, where aboriginals used it in traditional health practices.
   
2. The dominant constituent of this essential oil is named eucalyptol, after its source plant.
   
3. An Australian pharmacist named Joseph Bosisto was the first to distill Eucalyptus essential oil commercially in 1852. The species he used was Eucalyptus radiata, which is the same species doTERRA sources our essential oil from today.

Eucalyptus essential oil is one of our favorites, especially for this time of year. Diffuse Eucalyptus at home and join us in recognizing Respiratory Care Week.

This protocol consists of multiple tests that asses the purity of each oil. When oils are found pure, they are then readied to be sold. Through these methods and tests, doTERRA produces potent and pure oils, like Spearmint, that have incredible uses and benefits for all to use.

Fun Fact

Because teas were not taxed by the English around the time of the American Revolution, mint teas became a popular drink in North America. Spearmint was even used as a prominent cash crop in Connecticut during this time.

Plant Description

1. The Spearmint plant, Mentha spicata, is an herbaceous perennial that is a member of the Lamiaceae plant family. This plant is characterized by its ovate to lanceolate dark green leaves, and its terminal spikes wherefrom grow tiny, lilac, pink, and white flowers. The leaves of this plant can be highly fragrant.

Main Chemical Components: carvone, limonene, 1, 8-cineole, β-myrcene

The main chemical component of Spearmint is carvone. Carvone has a monoterpene backbone and is part of the ketone functional group. Carvone contains energizing properties that strongly contribute to Spearmint’s mood-uplifting abilities. According to a recently published study by Brazilian neuroscientists, the type of carvone ((R)-(-)-carvone) found in Spearmint demonstrated, in an experimental preclinical study, a statistically significant calming effect against a heightened state of excitement.3* This contributes to the belief that Spearmint may support healthy nervous system function.* To learn more about Carvone or other chemical components found in doTERRA essential oils, visit the doTERRA Science Blog.

doTERRA Deep Blue is a powerful essential oil blend that offers immediate soothing effects for skin. Comforting and cooling, Deep Blue is popularly used after activity as part of an after-sports massage. Eight essential oils combine synergistically to create a powerful blend: Blue (German) Chamomile, Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Ylang Ylang, Helichrysum, Blue Tansy, and Osmanthus. These essential oils provide rejuvenating benefits and provide soothing comfort to the back, legs, and feet.

Wintergreen is a key component of Deep Blue. The primary chemical constituent of Wintergreen essential oil is monoterpene ester methyl salicylate, which is often combined with lotion and used to soothe muscles and joints.

Helichrysum is a rare but powerful essential oil. There are over 600 species of helichrysum throughout the world, but it is primarily Helichrysum italicum that is sourced for its essential oil due to its ability to encourage energy and vitality when applied topically.

Blue Tansy essential oil is used in massage to provide a soothing sensation on affected areas. It is also emotionally calming and beneficial to the skin.

The sweet, floral aroma of Ylang Ylang is prized in the perfume industry. Topical application of this tropical oil encourages feelings of calm and relaxation and reduces the effects of daily stress.

The intense cooling sensation of Deep Blue is due in part to the concentration of menthol in Peppermint essential oil. Peppermint is distilled from the flowering tops of the Peppermint plant. Cooling to the skin, Peppermint is helpful for soothing feelings of tension.

Camphor Bark essential oil, distilled from the Cinnamomum camphora tree, is widely used in massage therapy for its ability to soothe affected areas.
