Mandarin

(Citrus Nobilis)

This tangy and zesty essential oil has some great properties to help relieve stress and digestive problems, but is mostly used to increase circulation to the skin, reducing fluid retention and to help prevent stretch marks.

 

 

 

It is a native of China, but was taken to Europe in 1805 and a little later to America, who now is a large producer of this oil.
