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 for its wonderful smell and therapeutic properties.
Neroli essential oil is very calming and is said to relieve chronic anxiety, depression, fear, depression, shock and stress. It is also believed to calm 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 some in an oil burner in a convalescent's room. On the skin, Neroli oil is said to help regenerate skin cells and is useful in preventing ugly scar tissue, promoting smoother skin, combating stretch marks and broken capillaries.
Neroli oil is believed to have been used by the Romans. In 1680, Anna Maria Orsini, Princess of Nerola, used the essence of the bitter orange tree to perfume her gloves and bath, thus creating a new fashionable fragrance. From this point on, the essential oil became known as Neroli after her. Folk tales say that these orange blossoms were used to decorate 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.
