Orange peel, the outer, zestful layer of oranges, offers several potential health benefits:

Rich in Antioxidants: Orange peel contains potent antioxidants like flavonoids and vitamin C, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants support overall health and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Digestive Aid: The natural oils found in orange peel can stimulate digestive enzymes, aiding in digestion and promoting overall digestive health. It may help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and gas.

Immune Support: Loaded with vitamin C, orange peel helps boost the immune system and protect against infections. Regular consumption may help reduce the severity and duration of colds, flu, and other illnesses.

Anti-inflammatory Properties: Orange peel contains anti-inflammatory compounds that may help reduce inflammation in the body. It can potentially alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and promote overall well-being.

Directions: add one teaspoon of orange peel to hot water. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain and enjoy.   

FYI: Please consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition.
