DESCRIPTION
Petitgrain essential oil is one of three that comes from the orange tree. Neroli is obtained from the flowers, and orange essential oil is obtained from the peel of the fruit. Petitgrain essential oil is extracted from the leaves and small twigs of the tree, but was once produced from green, unripe oranges when they were the size of cherries. The name of the oil has also survived from it. Petitgrain essential oil has both woody and floral aromas. The aroma of Petitgrain is classically used in toilet water. In cosmetics, this oil is used in products that help oily and acne-affected skin, as well as in toning lotions. It is a valuable ingredient in anti-cellulite and skin firming products. Petitgrain has antiseptic, anticonvulsant, antidepressant and nervine properties. It can help especially well in case of anger and panic, having a calming effect on the mind and relaxing on the body and nervous system in general. Eases breathing, helps against muscle cramps and stomach aches. Also helps against increased sweating. Energetically, this oil works to overcome addictions and delusions. It releases emotional states such as denial, avoidance, and overvaluing oneself. When these emotions are released, we see that we are using our addictions to maintain the illusionary state. Petitgrain essential oil goes especially well with bergamot, lavender, palm rose, geranium, sandalwood and rosewood essential oils.
