Tangerine Oil

Tangerine oil calms the nervous system, eases stress, promotes sleep, relieves ulcers, heartburn and bloating, and relieves stomach cramps. It’s called “the teddy bear oil” because of its kid-friendly nature and helping kids who have trouble sleeping.

There are two varieties of this oil. One called Mandarin, mainly from Europe, and the other called Tangerine, mainly from the United States. Some experts consider these two plants to be the same, and some consider them to be either different varieties or different horticultural strains; however the essential oil from both is used very much in the same manner.
