Children love the fragrance of Orange oil and parents will find it calming and relaxing for little ones. Use in the playroom or bedroom to soothe and help to sleep.
Orange oil tells us not to take things so seriously. A scent that brings us joy and lightens our mood. When we are tense, stressed, nervous it brings happiness and laughter. It calms, relaxes and refreshes. It uplifts our mood and helps us feel more positive.

* 8 ounces of oil (olive, almond, apricot, or sunflower)
* 1 ounce calendula flowers
* (You can add a few drops of essential oils if you like. Try 5-10 drops each of orange and lavender or chamomile. For the ultimate luxury use rose essential oil)
Place the oil and calendula flowers in a crock pot on about 4 hours to extract the beneficial properties of the calendula into the oil. Check very carefully that your oil is not getting to hot! Allow the oil to cool and then strain it using cheese cloth.
