Clementine Essential Oils

As a fruit, clementine is perfect for children because they are a seedless, healthy snack that is easy to eat and requires little preparation. Its “zing factor” also makes it ideal for use on breakfast cereals, in salads, and in yogurt. As an essential oil, it is derived through a cold pressed method from the peel of the fruit and has a thin consistency with a citrusy, exotic, sweet aroma. It blends with nearly any spice, floral, or citrus essential oil. General health benefits include encouraging the body’s electrolyte balance, the strengthening of one’s immune system, the support of cardiovascular health, and relief from digestive issues.
