Aromatic Description: Orange Bitter Essential Oil is extracted from the peel of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium). Bitter Orange is derived from the same tree as Neroli and Petitgrain and shares many of Neroli's therapeutic properties.  Its fresh, dry, bitter citrus aroma comes from the outer peel via cold press, while its sister oil, Petitgrain, comes from the leaves and twigs, and Neroli from the fragrant white flowers. Bitter orange oil features a similar aroma to fresh, tangy oranges. Inhaling the energizing and enlivening fragrance of the oil, especially during the early hours of the day, guarantees a peaceful atmosphere and instils complete calmness in your thoughts. Its remarkable capability to restore energy is among the top benefits of regularly using bitter orange oil. Frequent aromatherapy can put a spring in your step and gain extra power during the day. It will help keep your house smelling great and ensure ongoing energy for your most significant task. Ayurvedic healing suggests the usage of bitter orange oil throughout your meditation practice. Include 1 drop of bitter orange oil in your diffuser or air freshener and begin deep meditation, after which you’ll feel a never-before freshness while increasing your confidence. Carefully massaging your stomach with two drops of bitter orange oil combined with sesame oil may help you boost the entire procedure for digestion. You may also add two drops of the oil in your bathtub to assist with digestive disorders. You can add two drops of bitter orange oil with a refreshing carrier oil like jojoba oil or to your skincare creams and lotions and gently massage onto the affected parts for quicker effects.
