Antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, carminative, cordial, deodorant, digestive, stimulant (nervous), tonic (cardiac, circulatory).
Aroma: Neroli essential oil has a sweet, floral citrus aroma. Many aromatherapists refer to Neroli as an exotic and exquisite essential oil.
History: Though Bitter Orange essential oil has been around for centuries, Neroli essential oil wasn't discovered until the seventeenth century. It was named after Anna Maria de la Tremoille, princess of Nerola. The oil's properties were extremely valued by the people of Venice who used it against plague and fevers.
Hydrosols, as aromatherapists call them, are the waters that emerge from the distillation of essential oils. These contain the lightest, wateriest parts of the plant's essence. All of my floral waters are free of emulsifying agents and preservatives.
Flower waters are extremely versatile. They can be used anywhere that water is required. They are an excellent linen spray, and a simple, safe way for the novice aromatherapist to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of essential oils.
