1. anti-anxiety effect
Stress, anxiety, and being upset can happen especially when what we see, read, or heard, is something that we may not like. Sometimes, our stress or worry is the result of recognizing first the obvious disappointing things or listening to unconstructive suggestion. This triggers us to react, and talk. Since the scent of calamansi essential oil is strong enough, it can even cause us to experience a tingling effect when we smell it. Hence it has the ability to somewhat wake us up by catching our attention. From here it diverts our attention and lead us to refresh the way we look at our situation. Continuously smelling its fruity aroma enables us to calm down thus triggers us to see different perspectives. When we are in our relaxed mode, it encourages us to take notice of things we haven’t realized the first time we look at things, and eventually realize why we should trust and find the brighter side of things.

The components of calamansi oil enables it to possess antibacterial qualities. We know that body odor is caused by bacteria. Hence, using calamansi oil will not only get rid of the bacteria in your body but will also remove body odor.

3. deodorizing foul odor
Calamansi oil can overpower bad odors. Due to the strong scent of calamansi oil, I’ve seen how it was able to get rid of a bad odor I have smelled before. Although the odor I have smelled in the past had a semi-strong scent, calamansi oil was stronger and it was able to neutralize that scent, and eventually eliminated that unwanted odor. That enabled me to realize that it’s true that the nose is more sensitive to citrusy scents.
If you are into citrusy scents, then calamansi essential oil is a must-have in your aromatherapy kit. While you may sometimes get pissed off because of its stubbornly citrusy scent, you will still choose to trust this essential oil because you see that its strong scent is determined to show you the effectiveness of it’s real citrusy fruity aroma.
