由健康科學博士 Damian Rodriguez 編撰

野橘精油常被推薦作為擴香或外用，它還具有多種你可能不知道的效用。

野橘跟大多數的冷壓柑橘類精油一樣，富含檸檬烯及能振奮人心的香氛與強大的清潔特性。但它的用法不僅侷限於清潔廚房流理台，還能為房子增添煥然一新的柑橘香氣。野橘是個具備廣泛用途的精油，無論你的居住環境、年齡或健康狀態為何，都可以使用。

一、擴香

你常會聽人形容野橘（以及多數精油）的芬芳，能使人充滿活力或心曠神怡。根據研究指出，柑橘的香氛還有一些有趣的作用，可是你不曾想過的。從一些實驗中顯示，當處在壓力極大的環境中，野橘的芳香能安定心情並減輕焦慮感、緊張感，利用野橘精油擴香，可以讓自己充滿能量。所以，當你感到焦慮或想擴香時，滴幾滴野橘精油到手上，再深吸一口氣吧!!

二、外用

實驗研究顯示只要幾滴野橘精油就可以有效清潔衣物表面的污垢。衣物也會因為野橘精油的香氛，讓穿衣者可以感受那令人振奮，並激發積極正向感受的氣味。

倘若你身邊正好沒有芳香噴霧器，你也可以試著稀釋塗抹野橘精油。但記得柑橘類精油有獨特光敏性，在塗抹後的 12 小時內，請避免紫外線照射。

你又是如何利用野橘精油，來改善你的居家環境與健康的呢？
