Therapeutic Indications
This tree is an evergreen that is smaller and less hardy than the bitter orange tree. It also has fewer or no spines. The fruit is a sweet pulp and the membranes are not bitter.

This plant is native to China and is extensively cultivated in California and Florida, France, Spain and Italy. The oil is mainly produced in Israel, Cyprus, Brazil and North America. The distilled oil mainly comes from the Mediterranean and North America. The fragrance of this oil is one that is a zesty and refreshing citrus aroma.

Traditionally, this is a wonderful fruit containing vitamins A,B,and C. In Chinese medicine the dried sweet orange peel is used to treat coughs, colds, anorexia. All the citrus fruits are considered by the Chinese to be cooling. If eaten in excess they are thought to increase phlegm and therefore, not be advantageous to health. The sweet varieties increase bronchial secretion, while the sour promotes expectoration.

Therapeutically this oil is used for dull and oily complexions as well as mouth ulcers. It is also used for obesity and water retention as well as bronchitis and chills. It has been of help in constipation, colds, flu, nervous tension and stress related conditions.

Commercially, sweet orange peel tincture is used to flavour pharmaceuticals. It is used as fragrance in soaps, detergents, cosmetics and perfumes. The food industry uses this extensively in all areas of food and drinks. It is used far more than the Bitter Orange oil.
