Neroli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Neroli oil is a plant oil similar in scent to bergamot produced from the blossom of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara or Bigaradia).
The blossoms are gathered, usually by hand, in late April to early May. The oil is produced by water distillation, as the blossom is too fragile to endure steam distillation.
By the end of the 17th century, Anne Marie Orsini, duchess of Bracciano and princess of Nerola, introduced the essence of bitter orange tree as a fashionable fragrance by using it to perfume her gloves and her bath. Since then, the name of Neroli has been used to describe this essence. Neroli has a refreshing and distinctive, spicy aroma with sweet and flowery notes. It is one of the most widely used floral oils in perfumery. It is a non-toxic, non-irritant, non-sensitizing, non-photo-toxic substance. More than 12% of all modern quality perfumes use Neroli as their principal ingredient. It blends well with any citrus oil, various floral absolutes, and most of the synthetic components available on the market. Neroli oil is a classic element in fragrance design and one of the most commonly used in the industry. It is also used in flavors (alimentary) where it has a limited use.
Neroli oil is edible, and is a rumoured ingredient of Coca Cola if one is to believe any of the "secret" recipes which have surfaced over the years. Neroli is used in OpenCola.
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 thread vein scars. A solution is made by adding three or four drops of the essential oil to one cup of either sweet almond oil or wheat germ oil. The oil is then fixed by adding grapefruit seed extract, but if the solution’s to be used on children or pregnant women, only half the quantity of essential oil should be used.

There are two variants of orange tree, the sweet one apart from the bitter fruit. Oil from orange blooms is viewed as Neroli oil. During the ancient times, neroli oil was essential in helping combat the plague, relieve fever, and banish nervousness. Neroli oil is also widely used in the perfume and fragrance industry.

I am an aromatherapist and I extensively use Neroli oil for its sweet, intense, citrusy, floral aroma and therapeutic properties. Neroli oil is extracted from the flowers of bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium subsp. amara or Bigaradia) through steam distillation method. When used in aromatherapy, it rejuvenates mind, body and soul, improves sleep quality and aids in blood pressure control. Further, when mixed with carrier oil such as avocado, jojoba and sweet almond it can be used on skin to treat scars, stretch marks, etc. You can get it from http://www.allinexporters.com/, I always get oils for aromatherapy from here. I like their quality and prices are also reasonable.

It has a soothing effect on the nervous system. Calms and relaxes anxiety. You can use it in a medium massage oil and massage it into your skin. In the bath and you can put a couple or drops on a handkerchief and inhale. Also a couple of drops in a diffuser or lamp ring. You can get 100% pure essential oils online. If you live in So. Cal specifically OC, go to Mother's market. Get the Acacia brand which is one of the best as far as purity.
