Tangerine essential oil is extracted by cold pressing the peels of Citrus x tangerina, a variety of mandarin orange. It offers numerous health benefits:

- Mood Enhancement & Stress Relief
Tangerine is well known for its calming and uplifting properties.

Rich in limonene, terpinene, myrcene, and other bioactive compounds, tangerine helps neutralize free radicals and support cellular health.

- Digestive Support
Traditionally used to promote healthy digestion, positively influence the gut microbiota, and reduce inflammation.
Helps calm involuntary muscle contractions, which can be useful for digestive cramps.

- Skin Health
Helps improve skin appearance by supporting cell regeneration.
May assist with acne.

- Support for Respiratory System
Tangerine oil can help calm respiratory discomfort and promote easier breathing.
Its bright citrusy aroma may help clear nasal passages and reduce congestion when inhaled or used in steam therapy.

- Immune System Support
Through its antioxidant and antimicrobial actions, tangerine helps strengthen the immune response.

- Anti-cancer Properties
Research suggests that tangerine may show promise as an anti-cancer agent by inhibiting cancer cell growth and enhancing chemotherapy effects.

In partnership with Nutraceuticals Research Institute (formerly Franklin Health): A double blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized (1:1) parallel clinical trial conducted among otherwise healthy male and female children who were experiencing respiratory symptoms. The study compared inhalation of an essential oil blend from an inhaler stick containing eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, and tangerine essential oils to an identical, inert placebo.

Note: Proper dilution guidelines should always be followed. See the NAHA safety pages for more information.

Functional Botanical Perfumery: Past, Present, and Future
with Sharon Falsetto Chapman

"Take a journey with me through the mists of time and unearth how ancient civilizations both used and made aromatic fragrances. Discover how that has transcended to the modern-day use of botanicals in aromatherapy and natural perfumery. Yes, botanical perfumery can be both functional and artistic!

In this presentation, we will look at how to create a simple fragrance, discuss different perfume notes, and how this process leads into an intricate, yet still functional, way of making scents. Want to learn beyond a basic aromatherapy oil roll-on? You’re in the right place!

We’ll look at the concerns over sustainability in the botanical fragrance industry and how you can both substitute some extracts with others, as well as extend the notes within your fragrance. Learn how your choice of base affects the overall composition of your perfume. And I’ll also be sharing some sustainability tips that you can use with your perfumery packaging.
Fragrances weave stories through their scent and composition – but they can also be functional. What do you want your scent story to be?"

08/29/2025

Tea tree oil, derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant (native to Australia), has been used for centuries due to its natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Some of the health benefits of tea tree oil:

- Antibacterial
Tea tree oil has been shown to be effective against a range of bacteria, including:
Staphylococcus aureus (including some MRSA strains), Propionibacterium acnes (acne-causing bacteria), E. coli and Streptococcus species

- Antifungal
Treats athlete's foot, nail fungus, and ringworm.

- Antiviral
Antiviral activity, especially against certain enveloped viruses.

- Natural Remedy for head lice and insect bites
Tea tree oil contains ter-pinen-4-ol, which has been shown to be toxic to lice.
It may help prevent re-infestation. Its anti-inflammatory properties can reduce itching and irritation caused by lice and other insect bites.

- Skin Cancer Treatment
Laboratory studies (cell cultures and animal models) have shown that components of tea tree oil, particularly terpinen-4-ol, may have anti-tumor activity, such as slowing the growth of cancer cells.

Research sponsored by NAHA:
NAHA was proud to collaborate with Franklin Health (now Nutraceuticals Research Institute) to conduct a study which confirmed that lavender and tea tree oils are unrelated to endocrine disruption and are safe to use in children’s products. “This study was the first and only to scientifically evaluate these claims, and included over 550 children” (Franklin).

Peppermint essential oil is extracted from the leaves and flowers of the peppermint plant (Mentha Ă— piperita). It offers a range of potential health benefits, many of which are supported by research and long-standing traditional use. Some of peppermint's benefits are:

- Assists with Respiratory Complaints
Peppermint helps open airways, relieve nasal congestion, and reduce coughing. It can be included in a professionally formulated essential oil blend for use in an inhaler stick, diffuser, or steam inhalation.

- Eases Digestive Issues
Helps with bloating, gas, indigestion, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

- Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Antifungal properties
Helps fight damaging free radicals, bacterial and fungal infections.

- Antispasmodic
Helps relieve muscle spasms, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, but also in other muscles.

- Relieves Minor Aches and Pains
Known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, properly diluted peppermint helps with muscle pain, joint paint, and headaches.

- Stimulates Circulation
Peppermint oil causes a tingling sensation that increases blood flow to the scalp, which may help stimulate hair follicles.
