For topical use, dilute Tangerine essential oil to 2-3% for adults, 0.5-1% for children, and 1-2% for the elderly. Good carrier oils include jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut. Massage into desired area and allow for 20 minutes absorption time.

For direct inhalation, place 1-2 drops on a tissue or cotton ball and breathe deeply. For steam inhalation, add 2-3 drops to hot water and inhale for 5-10 minutes. For a personal inhaler, add a few drops of oil to the inhaler wick.
