I heard somewhere that the orange and lemon oil shouldn't be used on the skin if you're going to be outside in the sun, as it can make the skin sensitive to sunlight and cause burns.

Hi there. This is very interesting. Can you tell us more about anti-inflammatory herbs that we can just put in a tea or eat the leaves in a salad or in a smoothie. When I was a kid, I used to make an oil for my mum (she has varicose veins). So, a friend of mine (who is into herbal medication) suggested the following mixture:
-80% baseoil (he recommended almond)
-20% other oils (three in total: lemon, orange and lavender oil....the citric ones work as cleaners...dunno what that means exactly and the lavender was the soothing one).

I used to rub this into her legs and it worked relatively well. It didnt cure her, but it helped easy the pain.
