I have been trying to find as many uses for wild orange essential oil as I can for the last month or so and the uses just keep coming. I have a pretty big list together now and thought I’d share my doTERRA wild orange essential oils uses.
Wild orange is different to a regular orange essential oil. It’s much stronger, and the aroma is different. It’s more of a sweet scent than just a strong citrus. I prefer it a lot over regular orange, and although it’s not overpowering, if you use a quality brand like doTERRA the scent lasts for a long time.

Essential oils all offer unique and different health benefits. Wild orange has some really good benefits, especially for your emotional well-being. These are:

Precautions and Safe Use of Wild Orange Essential Oil
Citrus oils are particularly abrasive and can cause damage to diffusers or other items that are not designed to use them. They are even used to clean out diffusers, so that’s testament to the power of citrus oils.
They can also cause photosensitivity also when exposed to the sunlight. Be very careful when using wild orange topically, and always use a small test patch of skin first to test for allergies. Excessive use can lead to skin discoloring, and you must never let the oil near your eyes, nose, or ears. Always read the labels carefully and act within the manufacturer’s guidelines.
