Most people squeeze their oranges, enjoy the juice, and toss the seeds without a second thought. But hidden inside those tiny seeds is a surprising amount of nutrients, natural oils, and antioxidants that have been used in traditional wellness for calming digestion, easing bloating, refreshing the body, and adding gentle energy.
Soaking orange seeds overnight is a simple old remedy that many people don’t know about — and yet it produces a refreshing, light drink that can brighten your morning and support your body in a natural way. No sugar, no chemicals, no complicated procedures. Just the pure essence of citrus seeds releasing their benefits into water.
