Traditional Uses
Cholesterol & Cardiovascular Health:
Orange peel contains the majority of the fruit’s cholesterol-lowering compounds, making it a valuable addition to heart-supportive diets. These natural phytochemicals — particularly hesperidin and polymethoxylated flavones — help reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and prevent the buildup of plaque in arteries. Regular use supports healthy circulation, balanced lipid levels, and long-term cardiovascular wellness.
Antioxidant & Anti-Cancer Properties:
Rich in vitamin C and potent flavonoids, orange peel helps neutralise free radicals that damage cells and contribute to premature aging and disease. Studies indicate that compounds in the peel may inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells, particularly in the lungs and colon. The peel’s high antioxidant capacity supports cellular repair and strengthens the immune system against oxidative stress.
Digestive Health & Indigestion Relief:
Traditionally, orange peel has been used to ease bloating, gas, and indigestion. Its naturally bitter compounds stimulate digestive enzymes, improving nutrient absorption and helping regulate bowel function. With over 10 grams of dietary fibre per 100 grams, the peel supports healthy digestion and helps prevent constipation. Orange peel tea is a soothing and effective remedy for mild digestive discomfort.
Heartburn & Acid Balance:
Orange peel has been shown to relieve chronic heartburn and acid reflux. Active compounds in the peel help balance stomach acid and soothe irritation in the esophagus. When taken over 2–3 weeks, orange peel extract can provide sustained relief from heartburn without the side effects of conventional antacids.
Respiratory & Immune Support:
Packed with vitamin C and bioflavonoids, orange peel helps strengthen the immune system and reduce susceptibility to colds, flu, and respiratory infections. Its expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties make it beneficial for clearing mucus, easing coughs, and supporting overall lung health. Traditional use includes relief for bronchitis, asthma, and seasonal allergies.
Detoxification & Skin Health:
The high concentration of vitamin C and natural oils in orange peel supports detoxification and skin rejuvenation. Orange peel tea or powder can help purify the skin from within, while topical applications are often used to brighten the complexion, reduce oiliness, and even skin tone.
How It Works:
Orange peel is rich in flavonoids (hesperidin, naringin), limonene, and essential oils that provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive benefits. The dietary fibre supports gut motility, while limonene helps neutralise stomach acid and detoxify the liver. Together, these compounds promote metabolic balance and whole-body vitality.
