Tangerine Love

There is nothing like peeling a citrus fruit and being squirted with the acidic juice in the eye.  :)
Orange and tangerine are both citrus fruits but they are not the same. Though they are considered to be belonging to the same species, orange and tangerine differ in many aspects like their shape, smell and taste. The peel of tangerines are easier to remove than oranges.  Like all the citrus fruits the essential oil is cold pressed out of the rind of the fruit.

Everyday uses you might like to try...
* Add a drop or two to water or unsweet tea to add flavor.
* Apply topically to skin for a fresh uplifting scent, use a perfume.
* Diffuse!!!! 
* Use as a degreaser, or make your own household cleaner.
* Add a couple drops to your favorite unscented moisturizer or shampoo.

* Use to prevent stretch marks when pregnant.

* Add to a capsule and take for digestive issues.

* Mix with water and use as a fresh room spray.

* Add to an epsom salt bath to relieve muscle cramps or tired muscles.

A couple of things to note when using citrus oils. 

When mixing with water you always want to use a glass container.  Since citrus oils draw out toxins, when using plastic containers, citrus oils can pull out toxins from plastic and break down your container.  

Avoid using on skin if you are going to be in direct contact with sunlight or UV rays.
