I have sweet Orange and wasn’t sure how to use it. I also love body scrubs. Looking forward to trying this
One of my favorites! Is there an alternative to peru balsam here? I’m allergic unfortunately.
Vanilla CO2 would be suitable.
This orange is amazing, really love using plant therapy 🙂
This is one of my favorite oil scents, but I’ve not used it much for anything but the nice scent – now it’s nice to know I can use it to relieve stress and tension as well!
So glad this information helped you find some more uses for Orange Sweet! Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
Love Sweet Orange, I use it a lot! I love putting it in my bath salts!
Thank you for sharing! Orange Sweet is great to add to a bath, it smells so good!
I absolutely love Sweet Orange! I diffuse it to make my space and everyone in it “happy.” It is also great for not only cleansing the air but in DIY cleansers. I need to make a lotion with it now. An oil I will never be without.
Orange Sweet is absolutely wonderful! So bright and pleasing, it’s definitely a popular oil! Thank you for sharing with us, Angie 🙂
I just received mine and I love it! Citrus is my favorite and it’s so fresh!
So glad you love it!
Orange Sweet is my favorite oil for taming stress and just adding uplift to my mood. I diffuse this with my Plant Therapy “Diffuse on the Move” right in my laptop while I’m at work. Everyone in the office seems to feel the uplifting effects as well!! It is also my go to paired with Vanilla when I’m making beeswax chapstick. Smells like a creamsicle!!!! I appreciate all the wonderful information shared on the oils within the Plant Therapy blog. I add everything to my “files” so I can extend my oil uses.
Thank you for such a kind comment, Sonya! So glad you are loving your oils!
This is my favorite oil for diffusing in my kitchen. The smell is wonderful. I use it in my kitchen cleaner too!!
Thank you for sharing, Shawn!
Too bad I don’t have Peru blasam and tangerine… those 2 will be on my wish list!
You’ll love them if you get them! They have wonderful aromas 🙂
This sounds like the most amazing summer blend to date! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Kathy! We’re so glad you are excited about it!
They all sound great but the bath scrub really sparked my interest…
Personally, I love bath scrubs ~ And with orange sweet? It’s wonderful! We hope you love it, Cheryl!
I often add orange to my mop water (along with some white vinegar) to help make my house smell good. I love the sweet, sunshiny smell! I plan to try the diffuser blends as they sound yum!
Thanks for sharing, Lori! Glad you love using Orange Sweet!
That bath scrub sounds good enough to eat!! Ha ha!! I’ll be giving the scrub and the diffuser blend a try! Thanks so much for the ideas and recipes. Really appreciate it!
You are very welcome! We hope you love the scrub and diffuser blend!
Tried the frosted orange juice diffuser blend. Big thumbs up from this household!
Glad you love it!!
I absolutely LOVE this blend. It’s sweet, uplifting, and just makes me happy. It’s not too terribly strong, but strong enough. This is a very “happy” blend. Good for any time of year.
Thank you for your comment! Orange Sweet is a wonderful essential oil!
I just ordered this. I can’t wait for it to arrive. I have avoided most citrus, even though I love citrus fruits, because of phototoxicity issues. However, my mind is put at ease by Plant Therapy’s excellent information. I hope it is as cheerful as I expect it to be.
That’s great to hear, Yvonne! We hope you love this oil 🙂
I love this oil! You better get it while it is oil of the week! I like to diffuse after work to calm my nerves.
Thank you for sharing, Danielle!
Can u put drops of the orange in drinking water?
We do not recommend putting essential oils in water for drinking. Please email us at [email protected] for more information.
I’m going to order this soon to make some homemade deodorant 🙂
I have ordered Sweet Orange before and I am addicted to this oil! The smell is heavenly….makes my house smell great!
Sweet Orange is one of my favorite essential oils. I use it in everything. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!
That’s great, Rachel! Thank you for sharing!
I’m new to learning about oils. I’ve seen different types of “orange” in various diffuser recipes or cleaners. Can sweet orange be a substitute for tangerine or what other citrus/orange oils? Thank you.
They all have different chemical constituents and properties. While some may be able to be interchanged in some recipes, it cannot be generalized. If you have any questions about substitutions, you can always email us at [email protected] 🙂
Just ordered this oil this evening along with five others for my first essential oil experience. So excited for it to arrive…I love citrus smells and I am sure I will love diffusing this oil in my home.
We are so glad you are going to give essential oils a try! We know you will love them! If you have any questions about essential oils, don’t hesitate to contact our awesome aromatherapists at [email protected] 🙂
Bought this oil a few months back and fell in love with it, refreshing it is. First time owning sweet orange. Love the blogs and the ability to look things up when I need to learn how to use each of my oils.
Me & my son love it so much! I have the 30ml bottle!!
That’s great, Dawn! Thank you for sharing!
