Latin Name: Citrus Madurensis
Family: Rutaceae
Extraction: Expression
AROMA: Delicate, sweet, tangy with floral undertones.
PRECAUTIONS: Do not use Mandarin on the skin in direct sunlight.

Because of its gentle action. Mandarin is often regarded in France as ‘the children’s remedy’ and is often chosen to help with the tummy upsets of childhood, including ‘burps’ and hiccoughs. A 2% dilution in almond oil can be gently massaged into the tummy, always in a clockwise direction. I would extend this to say that it could be a wise choice for anybody who is a little fragile, particularly the elderly.
Mandarin is one of the oils which is safe to use during pregnancy, as it will not harm either the mother or the developing child. It is an excellent component of massage oils for the prevention of stretch-marks: I drop each of Lavender, Mandarin and Neroli to 10 mis of almond oil and 2 mis of wheatgerm oil is a good blend. It must be used daily, preferably twice daily, from about the fifth month of pregnancy to be really effective.
