Dr Eberhardt Organic Blood Orange Essential Oil, 10 ml

Discover Dr Eberhardt’s pure, organic blood orange essential oil. The warm, fruity scent, derived from the cold-pressed peel of Sicilian oranges, promotes a positive mood and gently relaxes.

I’m walking across the slopes of Mount Etna. For a snack, I pick a ripe fruit. Blood orange boosts your zest for life. It nourishes blemished and dry skin and helps to dispel anxiety. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this neutral oil regulates the Qi and calms the heart.

The blood orange thrives on hot days but cool nights. Only then can it develop its deep red colour. Blood orange trees find ideal conditions on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. That is precisely where the oranges for our organic blood orange oil come from. To ensure the gentlest possible extraction, the peel is cold-pressed. Just as life in the sunny south brings joy, so blood orange oil enhances one’s zest for life, especially on cold days. Fears fade, worries shrink, and you soon feel as carefree as a child. Children love this oil.
