Tangerine Essential Oil

Tangerine Essential Oil is cold pressed from the rind and is a species variation of the mandarin orange.
Tangerine variations can be of the species citrus nobilis or citrus reticulate so it can be a bit confusing. 

The citrus nobilis species is often associated with the tangor or temple orange so for our purposes we will stick with citrus reticulate.

Mandarin and Tangerine have very similar properties and are often interchanged; however, there are some differences in chemistry.

Mandarin essential oil contains esters while tangerine does not. 

Mandarin oil also has greater alcohol content. 

Mandarin is steam distilled from the leaves, not the rind.
Mandarin has antifungal, antiseptic, antispasmodic properties in addition to the tangerine properties.

 But they both contain sedative properties that are calming to the nervous system, making them good for stress and settling emotions.

Tangerine contains 85-93% limonene. 

Limonene has shown to protect against pancreatic, stomach, colon, skin, and liver cancers in animal studies. 

It is present in all the citrus essential oils as well as several species of tree oils ( Palo Santo and White Fir ).

Tangerine is a great digestive aid and enhances the circulatory system. 

It also is a cleanser like grapefruit and lemon, and has the ability to decongest the lymphatic system and alleviate water retention.

 Tangerine essential oil has been studied for its ability to settle the mind and ease stress and anxiety. Its has sedative like properties bring emotional balance to the mind, relax the nervous system and are natural sleep aids.

Tangerines (and tangerine oil) provide a whole source of Vitamin C, beta-carotene and folate. 

They also contain other essential vitamin Bs, and potassium and magnesium.

Tangerines have been grown in China, Japan, and Djibouti for over 3,000 years.

Variety of Eucalyptus Essential Oils

The uses of Eucalyptus are very vast and wide-ranging because there are so many species that have medicinal properties.
Traditionally, Eucalyptus species have been used for insect repellent, respiratory infections and mouth washes. 

The Australian Aborigines have used the leaves to disinfect wounds and treat infections for thousands of years.

Rainbow Eucalyptus

Unfortunately with the broad uses and abundance of species comes some confusion and even exploitation of the consumer. 

This is similar to the problems often encountered with other popular essential oils such as cinnamon essential oil and the Melaleuca species. 

Therefore, it is up to us as consumers and oil users to have an understanding of the plant and the oil so we can use the oils safely and correctly.

Why is There so Much Confusion about Eucalyptus:
With over 700 species of eucalyptus, as well as chemotypes, common names and different parts of the plant being marketed.

And on top of it, most companies are labeling the oil all under the genus of Eucalyptus. 

That is confusing and misleading to the consumer.

What is a Chemotype:

A chemotype (CT) is a designation that tells you that the species has different chemical constituents. This usually occurs because the plant is grown in a different area under a distinct climate that alters the chemistry. 

The perfume varieties mostly contain citronellal, while the medicinal varieties contain what we want - 1, 8 cineole.

How do I Know what I am Getting:

Always purchase and use essential oils by their common name and genus species,

And of course make sure they are therapeutic grade.

Why does Any of this Matter:
It matters because different species (and chemotypes) equals different results! So the uses of eucalyptus will be different.

And some species may not be suitable for medicinal use at all.

 So you need to match the genus species with the result you want before you go to purchase an essential oil to use.
