In Chinese Medicine: A gentle, relaxant sweet-lemony oil for regulating Middle Jiao Qi, Red Mandarin is equally suited to harmonizing the Shen and relaxing tension. It is indicated where constrained Liver Qi produces stagnation in the Middle Jiao, and it is somewhat more calming than Bergamot.

If you are looking for a less in-your-face citrus, this is it! Heavenly and more subtle than classic sweet orange.
