Orange essential oils should never be applied to the skin at full strength. Doing so can cause inflammation, stinging, and photosensitivity. It should instead be diluted with a carrier oil (such as sweet almond or jojoba oil) to avoid irritation.
Never inhale orange essential oil directly from the bottle. Doing so can cause nasal and throat irritation and even a mild burn if a droplet is accidentally inhaled.
Like most essential oils, sweet orange essential oil is not intended for internal use.
Essential oils can cause mild to severe toxicity when consumed, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), hematuria (blood in urine), and tachycardia (rapid heartbeat).
Pregnant women should consult with their healthcare providers before using essential oils for any purpose. Essential oils should not be used on children unless under the supervision of a qualified pediatrician. *
