What is Docteur Valnet Mandarin Organic Essential Oil used for?
Mandarin essential oil has anxiolytic and antidepressant properties. It also has antioxidant and anticancer properties. The fragrance of Citrus restores immunity after stress-induced immunosuppression and helps reduce the dosage of antidepressants. It is also anti-inflammatory.
The mandarin (Citrus reticulata - Rutaceae family) owes its name to the Chinese mandarins to whom it was offered as a sign of respect. The zest of this tasty, bromine-rich fruit contains an essential oil renowned for its calming properties. Its delicate scent has a mood-enhancing effect, soothing the irritated.
Mandarin, a citrus fruit appreciated for its sweet aroma, contains alpha-pinene, beta-pinene and limonene, which give Docteur Valnet Mandarin organic essential oil remarkable expectorant properties. By promoting the expulsion of respiratory secretions, this essence is a natural support for the respiratory tract, offering comfort during periods of seasonal discomfort.
Mandarin oil contains limonene, a substance with detoxifying and liver-protecting properties. Through its stimulating action on cytochromes P450 and phase II enzymes such as glutathione-S-transferase, it plays an active role in purifying the body, while soothing digestive disorders such as nausea and gastric acidity, thus contributing to optimal digestive comfort.
This organic essential oil is an invaluable aid for those seeking serene rest, thanks to its sedative and anxiolytic effects. Through its action on the central nervous system and tryptophan biosynthesis, mandarin promotes an atmosphere conducive to relaxation and sleep. It is a natural alternative for people wishing to improve their emotional well-being and the quality of their sleep.
Mandarin oil also possesses notable antimicrobial properties, notably against pathogens such as staphylococcus aureus and the Herpes simplex virus. In addition, thanks to limonene, it has significant anti-cancer potential, recognized for its anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor action, making this active ingredient a promising antineoplastic agent in the prevention of carcinogenesis.
Beyond its main virtues, Docteur Valnet's organic Mandarin essential oil has cortison-like and anti-inflammatory effects, acting as a natural corticosteroid.
