Citrus sinensis, commonly known as sweet orange, has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in aromatherapy and herbal practices. Its essential oil, often derived from the peel, is traditionally believed to have uplifting and energizing properties, which may indirectly support the sympathetic nervous system by promoting alertness and reducing perceived stress or fatigue. However, the majority of these uses are based on anecdotal evidence and traditional practice rather than modern clinical trials. There is limited scientific research directly linking Citrus sinensis or its constituents with specific modulation of the sympathetic nervous system. Some studies suggest that citrus aromas can influence mood and possibly autonomic nervous system activity, but these findings are not robust or specific to Citrus sinensis and often involve other citrus species or mixed essential oils. In summary, the use of Citrus sinensis to support the sympathetic nervous system is primarily grounded in traditional use, with limited and indirect scientific support, and evidence for its efficacy in this context should be considered modest.
