How is this green mandarin oil used in aromatherapy?
In aromatherapy practice, green mandarin oil is valued as an uplifting, fresh citrus oil — brighter and sharper than sweet orange, with a traditional link to digestive wellness in Chinese food therapy. It is always used diluted; this is a practical guide, not a medical claim.
