Sweet Orange differs from the Seville or Bitter Orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara; C. vulgaris; C. bigaradia) that yields oils of Neroli (Orange Blossom), Petitgrain, and Bitter Orange. This variety includes such familiar tasty favorites as the Navel and Valencia, grown in Florida, California, and around the Mediterranean from where its distilled oil is most often produced. Although less effectual than the oils of Neroli or Mandarin, Sweet Orange shares with these other orange oils certain antispasmodic and hypotensive properties helpful in the treatment of palpitations, spasms, etc. It also shares similar mood enhancing qualities. Sweet Orange is mildly antibacterial and antiseptic. More notably a tonic and depurative, it works as well topically as a skin and body care toner and cleanser. It is readily administered in fragrances, spritzers, and diffusors.
