10 ml Neroli Dilute Essential Oil

This Neroli Essential Oil is derived from the delicate flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara), commonly known as Neroli bigarade. The blossoms are hand-harvested to ensure the utmost care, and the oil is meticulously produced through water distillation, as the flowers are too fragile for steam distillation. Renowned for its enchanting aroma, Neroli oil is not only a sensory delight but also celebrated for its therapeutic benefits.

Neroli oil is prized for its calming properties, making it an excellent choice for alleviating chronic anxiety, fear, and stress. Its soothing nature extends to supporting digestive health, as it is believed to ease intestinal spasms, colitis, and diarrhoea. For those struggling with insomnia, heart palpitations, neuralgia, or vertigo, this oil offers gentle relief. Consider warming it in an oil burner to create a serene environment, especially beneficial for convalescents.

On the skin, Neroli oil is known to assist in regenerating skin cells, helping to prevent unsightly scar tissue while promoting smoother, more radiant skin. It is also effective in combating stretch marks and broken capillaries.

With a rich history, Neroli oil has been cherished since Roman times. In 1680, Anna Maria Orsini, princess of Nerola, famously used the essence of the bitter orange tree to fragrance her gloves and bath, setting a trend for this exquisite scent. Folklore suggests that orange blossoms were traditionally used to decorate bridal beds, helping newlyweds relax and enjoy their first night together. The production of this luxurious oil is labour-intensive, as each blossom must be carefully plucked at the moment of bloom.
