Mandarin essential oil uses

One of the most significant Mandarin essential oil uses is treating digestive problems, as it has a tonic and stimulant effect on both the stomach and liver. Its effect on the intestines is calming (in common with both Neroli and Orange) and it has been found to be even more effective when used in a synergistic combination with other citrus oils.

Because of its gentle action, Mandarin is often regarded in France as ‘the children’s remedy’ and is often chosen to help with the tummy upsets of childhood, including ‘burps’ and hiccoughs. A 2% dilution in almond oil can be gently massaged into the tummy, always in a clockwise direction. It would be a wise choice of oil for anybody who is a little fragile, particularly the elderly.
