Citrus Trees are grown in temperate climates all over the world. The fresh, tangy fragrances of citrus oils make them ideal for elevating mood, calming nerves, and reducing anxiety and a valuable addition to perfumes and fragrances.
Citrus oils also act as astringents and can be useful in fighting bacteria because of the high content of limonenes and pinenes.http://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/essential-oils/health-benefits-of-tangerine-essential-oil.htmlK.
