Also, there are plenty of lower-quality orange oils on the market, one of which is steam-distilled orange oil. Orange essential oil, like all citrus oils, should be cold-pressed from the peel, not steam-distilled. Steam distillation is great for most essential oils, but not citrus oils because they lose their medicinal potency when they undergo any heat treatment.
In fact, we store our orange essential oils under refrigeration until it is bottled out in order to retain aromatic freshness and to protect the vital nutrients in the oil. If you live in a warm climate, we recommend keeping your citrus essential oils under refrigeration as well.
Most so-called natural orange oils on the market are standardized or adultered in some way, which affects the therapeutic properties. In fact, many of them are considered toxic due to the addition of synthetic chemicals added to enhance the aroma.
But with real, natural orange oils, the therapeutic properties remain intact, the price is economical, and there are no side effects provided the oil is used properly. In case you are unfamiliar with how to use essential oils, check out this Blog Post.
