The orange come in many sizes and varieties from sweet to bitter.  The Spanish brought the orange to the United States of America and now they are grown in places like Arizona, Florida and California.  Though we like to eat the sweet oranges, there is much produce made from the sour types such as marmalades and some drinks.  

In the Spiritual use of the Orange it is used to increase immunity and sexual potency. 

Orange also brings about healing in the region of the digestive system, chest and kidney diseases. Some of the things that Essential Orange Oil is good for are:
