Female Speaker: One of the things you talk about in your book is that, sweet orange has a positive effect on skin disorders, oils and burns, could you elaborate on that?
Frank Murray: Yes. Well, we've all seen the leg ulcers, these are lesions, obviously the blood is not getting through to the lower extremities and it can cause a build up of fluids and this can lead to the lesions on the legs. But sweet orange is wonderful for dilating the blood vessels and getting the blood through, so that these capillaries, the veins don't atrophy. So we need blood flowing constantly. As you know, the arteries sense the blood through the body and the veins and capillaries return the blood. So if the blood is not circulating properly, if the veins actually atrophy, this can cause a buildup of fluids and cause the -
Female Speaker: The leg ulcers.
Frank Murray: The leg ulcers, which vary sidle of course.
Female Speaker: And must be painful too?
Frank Murray: Well, they are painful, yes. So the sweet orange can not only send blood through that area but it can also help healing process.
Female Speaker: What about the skin disorders and burns and that kind of thing?
Frank Murray: Yes, well anything that can improve the skin after a lesion, after a burn or some sort of bruise as you know, you can bump into something and a few days later, you see a yellow and brown spot and then where do that come from? Well, it was simply that the capillaries, they are so fragile, they fracture, they broke, and then the blood erupted into the skin and causes the bulges.
