Coast Studies are being done in Europe on the effects of the essence
of orange zest on depression. Early indications have noted some
positive results in people who have from slight occasional depression
to severe depression to bipolar disorder. In the studies, clients
smell the essence of orange at regular intervals throughout the
day.
For
a sense of well-being and a relief of tension and stress, allow
the scent to diffuse in the room or smell from a cotton ball or
tissue several times a day. Bitter orange zest is a great oil
for clearing blockages and improving the energy flow of the 2nd
chakra. Apply 1 drop on the chakra or on the soles of the feet.
It is a good subtle energy enhancer aiding in unconditional acceptance
- put one drop on the heart chakra.
