Neroli (orange blossom) Essential Oil

Orange blossom oil comes from the bitter orange tree which was first cultivated in the Mediterranean by the Arabs in the 10th Century.

Neroli is named after the 17th century Italian Princess of Nerola, Anna Maria de La Tremoille, who wore the oil in her gloves.

Neroli is considered highly effective as a sedative and antidepressant and is recommended for the treatment of insomnia and as a relaxant. The oil is reputed to have a rejuvenating effect on the skin as it has an ability to stimulate the growth of healthy new cells.

Neroli has an uplifting, spicy aroma with sweet and flowery notes. It is distinctive as it blends well with any citrus oil and floral absolutes, and is non phototoxic.

Neroli oil is a classic element in fragrance design and one of the most commonly used in the perfume industry.

As an essential oil, used in aromatherapy and massage, Neroli is considered to have a soothing effect on the nervous system.

Traditionally, neroli oil was used not only to relive tension and anxiety, but also in increase circulation and heal scars.
