Was ist ätherisches Mandarinenöl?
Tangerine essential oil is a fresh, sweet and citrusy essential oil that is cold pressed from the tangerine fruit rinds. The fragrance has a more concentrated but intense aroma compared to its sweet orange counterpart. Tangerine is sometimes considered a variety of mandarin orange and sometimes considered its own species. Mandarins have been traditionally used in China for healing for indigestion, bronchitis and asthma.

Wie wird ätherisches Mandarinenöl hergestellt?
Das ätherische Öl der Mandarine wird durch Kaltpressung gewonnen. Bei der Kaltpressung wird die Schale der Frucht gepresst, bis die natürlichen Ölsäcke in der Schale platzen und das Öl freigesetzt wird. Anschließend werden die Öl- und Wasseranteile getrennt, um das ätherische Öl zu gewinnen. Die Gewinnung von ätherischem Öl aus den Schalen von Orangen und anderen Zitrusfrüchten ist eine wunderbare Möglichkeit, Abfall zu vermeiden und die gesamte Frucht zu verwerten.

Äußerliche Anwendung von ätherischem Mandarinenöl
Introduce a new skincare routine to your selfcare days. The benefits of adding a few drops of tangerine to your body lotions, face creams, nail and hair products are uplifting, anti-aging and antiseptic, which keeps the skin safe from free radicals, boosts collagen production and healing effects, and helps keep your skin and nails free from infections.
You can also make your own topical tangerine essential oil blend by adding it to a safe carrier oil for the body or for the face. Safe carrier oils include jojoba oil, avocado oil, sesame oil, rosehip oil, extra virgin olive oil and almond oil. Jojoba is usually the best choice as it is non-comedogenic, meaning the skin absorbs the oil without causing breakouts.
Be sure to do a patch test before using tangerine essential oil more liberally on your skin.
You can also dab some on your temples or neck like a natural perfume alternative to uplift your mood and put a spring in your step.
Using tangerine essential oil topically is also a great natural mosquito repellent solution! You’ll smell great to yourself and everyone else while keeping the bugs away. Apply it with some carrier oil to help you get bitten less.

Aromatherapy massage offers both the physical and psychological effects of tangerine essential oil, while the massage itself enhances these effects. Treat yourself to some self-massage before going out for the evening or on the weekend after a long week, or trade massages with your partner. Your skill will thank you for it, you’ll feel more relaxed, you’ll be in a better mood and you’ll sleep better.

Forschung zum ätherischen Öl der Mandarine
Die Forschung über das ätherische Öl der Mandarine variiert zwischen Citrus reticulata und Citrus tangerina und zeigt eine Vielzahl von Vorteilen dieses köstlichen ätherischen Öls. Im Folgenden finden Sie einige der bemerkenswertesten Forschungsergebnisse.
Kognitive, stimmungs- und schlafmodulierende Effekte - 2019, 2020, 2021
In a study on orange essential aromatherapy in mice, the inhaled oil was found to have antidepressant effects on the behavior of the mice. Limonene was found to be the major compound, as is the case in tangerine essential oil. The authors also tested limonene inhalation in the mice and found that it had antidepressant effects as measured by stress hormones, brain neurotransmitters and by improving behavior in the mice.
An interesting recent study measured brain wave activity in men and women after inhaling Citrus tangerina essential oil. They found that the effects varied based on the concentration. Undiluted tangerine essential oil reduced alpha waves and increased beta waves, resulting in increased brain function and alertness. Lower concentrations reduced alpha and beta waves but increased theta waves, which has a sedative effect demonstrated by helping subjects fall asleep faster.
When rat brains were wired by electroencephalogram (EEG) to compare the effects of aromatherapy with Citrus reticulata essential oil to those of diazepam, an anxiolytic drug, results showed that the EEG patterns of the two substances were similar. However, whereas diazepam caused more disturbed sleep and reduced REM sleep, tangerine essential oil helped subjects fall asleep faster and increased REM sleep.
Antioxidative und antimikrobielle Eigenschaften von ätherischem Mandarinenöl - 2020, 2021
Of four different citrus fruits tested, Citrus reticulata essential oil was found to have the strongest antioxidant effects. It was also to have antibacterial effects against five common bacteria that infect humans and skin including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhimurium.
Citrus reticulata oil has also been found to have antifungal properties against various Aspergillus species and Candida albicans.
Mandarinenöl für die Haut - 2021
On top of its antibacterial and antifungal activity, Citrus reticulata essential oil was found to significantly reduce wound size in vivo in skin, demonstrating its ability to accelerate wound healing. All of this together makes it a great addition to your skin care regimen.
Mückenabwehrende Wirkung von ätherischem Mandarinenöl - 1995, 2017, 2018
Of four different citrus peel essential oils studied, tangerine essential oil had the highest limonene content (97%), killed mosquito larva and was the only essential oil to reduce mosquito landings, which were reduced by 50%. Its superior mosquito repellent effect was also confirmed in another study.
Citrus tangerina has also been shown to repel aphids and mites.
Mandarine ätherisches Öl für die Gewichtsabnahme - 2013, 2014, 2017
Flavonoids in tangerine/mandarin peel have been discovered to have many favorable effects on metabolism, including burning fat, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, reducing inflammation and more. The flavonoids responsible for these benefits include hesperidin, nobiletin and tangeretin.
While consuming the fruit or the pith may offer plentiful flavonoids, essential oil contains fewer. In addition, the effects of these flavonoids are exerted internally from ingesting the oils.
Lungenschützende Eigenschaften von ätherischem Mandarinenöl - 2012, 2018
In both in vitro research on human embryonic lung fibroblasts and in the lungs of live rats, Citrus reticulata essential oil was found to reduce fibrosis or thickening of the lung tissue and inflammation of the alveoli while increasing antioxidant activity.
In a similar study in vitro on lung cancer cells and in mice, Citrus reticulata essential oil provided powerful protective effects, leading the authors to suggest it as a natural preventative measure.
Nebenwirkungen von ätherischem Mandarinenöl
There are no known side effects, interactions or allergic reactions with tangerine essential oil, but overuse or undiluted use can potentially cause skin reactions. Because tangerine oil is cold pressed, concentrated and high in limonene, the essential oil can be phototoxic, which means you should avoid direct sun exposure after applying the oil to the skin as this may cause skin irritation or burns.
We recommend doing a patch test before applying the oil topically. You can do a patch test by applying a drop of tangerine essential oil with some carrier oil behind the ear, covering it with a band aid and leaving it for 24 hours. If there is no reaction, then you are good to use the oil topically more liberally.
Kontraindikationen für ätherisches Mandarinenöl
Vitamin C is great, but some people have been known to experience side effects or allergic reactions to citrus, in which case it is best to avoid using tangerine essential oil. If you are unsure of any allergies to citrus, consult a medical practitioner beforehand.
Do not use tangerine essential oil (or any essential oil) on infants under 3 months.
Some benefits of tangerine essential oil can be achieved through internal use. At volant, we do not recommend ingesting essential oils due to their concentrated nature. If you wish to do so, be sure to enlist medical supervision.
