Originally cultivated in the 18th century, blood orange gets its deep red color from anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant. It has been reported to have anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, making it a great addition to diffusers, lotions and creams and homemade cleaning products. The rind is cold pressed to release the sweet, citrusy aroma, which is widely used in aromatherapy to promote feelings of warmth and happiness. A universally pleasing scent, it is used widely to calm and uplift both the mind and body.
