Pure Neroli Essential Oil

Latin Name: Citrus Aurantium

Part of Plant Used: Flowers

Extraction Method: Steam Distillation

Neroli oil is produced from the flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. Amara) also known as Neroli bigarade, and smells like bergamot. The flowers are hand-picked and the oil is produced by water distillation as the flowers are too fragile for steam distillation. This is one of the most popular essential oils because of its wonderful smell and therapeutic properties.

Neroli essential oil is very calming and is said to soothe chronic anxiety, depression, fear, depression, shock, and stress. It is believed to also ease intestinal spasms, colitis and diarrhea. Because of its sedative property, it is good for insomnia, people with palpitations, neuralgia and vertigo. It is good to warm a little in an oil burner in a convalescent’s room. On the skin, Neroli oil is said to help regenerate skin cells and is helpful in preventing ugly scar tissue, promoting smoother skin, fighting stretch marks and broken capillaries.

It is believed that Neroli oil was used by the Romans. In 1680, Anna Maria Orsini, princess of Nerola, used the essence from the bitter orange tree to perfume her gloves and her bath, thereby creating a new fashionable scent. From this time, the essential oil became known as Neroli after her. Folk tales say that these orange blossoms were used to adorn bridal beds to help relax newlywed couples in bed. The oil is expensive to produce, and great care is taken as the flowers must be plucked just as they bloom.
