The essential oil of play: Mandarin
Mandarin essential oil, extracted from the fruit's peel through cold pressing, has a sweet and pleasant scent, with a beneficial effect on morale and balance. A plant associated with childhood, which invites us to rediscover the child within us: it increases joy, the pleasure of play, and the delight of discovery.
The sedative action of Mandarin essential oil is effective in states of tension, restlessness, or insomnia. Its calming effect particularly impacts the sympathetic nervous system, thus it is recommended during times of great stress and in cases of psychosomatic symptoms in the chest area (tachycardia, palpitations). It induces serenity and joy, helping to savor simple things again with enthusiasm and wonder. Its subtle influence on the psycho-emotional level helps to overcome harshness and to be more sincere with oneself, supporting one's inner child.
In environmental diffusion
A mild antiseptic, it helps to cleanse the air in rooms, especially in winter when windows are opened less often. Its digestive action and direct association with the fruit's flavor make it an ideal oil for cooking: it helps to control nervous hunger, creating a warm, joyful, and familiar atmosphere. Mandarin is a sedative for the sympathetic nervous system, contributing to rest and often proving to be a solution for insomnia, especially during early childhood. Its subtle action helps to alleviate daily tensions and improve mood, creating a serene environment for spending time with loved ones.
A cuddle for the little ones
More lively and restless children often particularly benefit from a bedtime massage given by a parent: a few drops of essential oil in a teaspoon of almond oil on the feet, ankles, and chest will have a general relaxing effect that will prepare them for a sweet sleep. Mandarin essential oil has always been associated with the figure of a child, with its purity, cheerfulness, and playfulness: in its highest vibrations, it is associated with the energy of the Baby Jesus.
For beauty
Mandarin essential oil improves lymphatic and blood circulation, facilitating the reabsorption of excess fluids: it is one of the best essential oils to use to combat cellulite and water retention (both through massages and in aromatic baths). Useful on the lower limbs and abdomen (always diluted in vegetable oil) to eliminate swelling and reactivate microcirculation.
