ESCENTIA - Mandarin Oil - 10ml

Mandarin = Naartjie

The powerful mandarin fruit owes its name, which means gold in Cantonese, to the high officials of the Chinese empire who, by tradition, received this fruit as a gift as a symbol of fortune and prosperity. To this day, the fragrant citrus fruit is offered to wish someone a life full of hope and prosperity.

This oil has powerful properties: calming, relaxing, antispasmodic, circulatory, slightly antiseptic and anti-fungal.
