Wild Orange oil is one of dōTERRA’s most popular oils—and with good reason! Not only does Wild Orange oil have a variety of uses, but its invigorating, energising aroma is hard to resist. One of my favourite ways to use Wild Orange is to add a few drops to my drinking water for a flavourful beverage.

With countless uses for the home, body, and mind, it is no wonder that Wild Orange essential oil is one of dōTERRA’s top-selling essential oils. The refreshing, sweet scent of Wild Orange makes it popular for aromatic and topical use, while the citrus flavour of the oil can add extra zing to any beverage, appetiser, or mail meal. A truly versatile oil, Wild Orange is vital for any essential oil collection.

Wild Orange addresses a wider variety of emotional issues than any other essential oil.  It inspires abundance, fosters creativity, supports a positive mood, restores physical energy, and aids in transitions.  Wild Orange also reconnects individuals with their inner child and brings spontaneity, fun, joy and play into one’s life.

dōTERRA Wild Orange essential oil is cold pressed from fresh fruit peels of the sweet orange tree. dōTERRA sources oranges in Greece and Brazil where ideal climate and growing conditions contribute to the best possible orange citrus oil in the world.

Uses and Benefits

• Possibly one of the most distinct characteristics of Wild Orange essential oil is its powerful scent. The strong, sweet, citrus aroma of Wild Orange makes it useful for purifying the air, promoting and energising an uplifting environment, or simply creating a pleasant smell in the home. To harness the purifying power and aroma of Wild Orange, place a few drops on your air filter at home. This will improve your home’s scent while simultaneously purifying the air.
• The purifying properties of Wild Orange are not only useful for cleansing the air, but you can also use the oil to cleanse surfaces around the home. Similar to Lemon, Wild Orange can be used to wipe down frequently used surfaces around the home when you want to cleanse and purify them. Not only is Wild Orange helpful for purifying your kitchen table, countertop, or anything your family might use frequently throughout the day, but it can also be useful when cleaning the bathroom. Put three drops of Wild Orange in your bathroom sink or bathtub drains to help dispel any unpleasant odors or grime. Be sure to let the oil evaporate before you run the water.

If you are a fan of French toast, you will love this recipe for Wild Orange French Toast & Buttermilk Syrup.

• While many people diffuse Wild Orange to purify the air, this oil can also help uplift mood and increase feelings of energy. At the beginning of a stress-filled day, consider diffusing Wild Orange to provide a revitalising aroma that will help get you through any task. If you are feeling a lack of energy in the late afternoon or early evening, you can diffuse Wild Orange to help lift your mood and increase awareness.
• Another unique attribute of Wild Orange is its ability to polish wood furniture—a characteristic commonly found among citrus essential oils. You can easily make your own furniture polish at home by combining olive oil, vinegar, and Wild Orange into a spray bottle. This concoction will give life to old tables, chairs, or wood floors by getting rid of dust that often makes furniture look dull. Learn how to make this polish by following the instructions in our DIY Furniture Polish blog post.
• People love the invigorating, uplifting scent of Wild Orange. While the scent of Wild Orange can be enjoyed as you diffuse the oil, you can also apply Wild Orange oil topically to take advantage of its energising properties. For an energising boost, dispense one to two drops of Wild Orange in the palm of your hand along with equal parts Peppermint and Frankincense. Then, rub the combination on the back of your neck to maintain uplifting feelings. If you want to feel energised first thing in the morning, add a few drops of Wild Orange to your body wash for an invigorating shower.
• Wild Orange oil has the ability to support the immune system when needed most. During cold weather months, consider adding one or two drops of Wild Orange to a capsule to help support a healthy immune system. If you often drink tea, add a few drops of Wild Orange to your favourite tea when you want to support your immune system. You can also simply add a drop of Wild Orange to a glass of water every day to add flavour and promote overall health.
