The synephrine in bitter oranges can increase the heart rate and raise blood pressure.

We are moving colors finally. 🤣 I got pretty stuck on red for a while but tis the season. The chakras of the human body also exist on #Earth! The planet’s sacral chakra is believed to be located at #LakeTiticaca in #Peru and Bolivia. The massive lake ranks in the 20 largest in the world, and it is divided almost perfectly in half by the Peruvian-#Bolivian border. As the sacral chakra’s #element is #water, it makes sense that a large body of freshwater would be the location of the earth’s sacral chakra.
