Family: Rutaceae
Aroma: Floral, fresh, warm

Description and Uses: Petitgrain comes from the same tree as Neroli, although Petitgrain essential oil is distilled from the leaves rather than the petals. The two oils have similar properties, but Petitgrain has deodorant properties as well and is particularly helpful in relieving anxiety and stress. Petitgrain is a wonderful oil for helping with nervous exhaustion and trouble sleeping as it has a soothing, calming effect on the emotions.
Petitgrain's aroma is lovely -- fresh and green/flowery and it's effect is both revitalizing and relaxing. It has a toning effect on the skin and is wonderful as a final rinse for healthy hair (two drops).

Here's a recipe to try using Petigrain Essential Oil:

Relaxation Massage Oil
4 drops Lavender Essential Oil
1 drop Petitgrain Oil
1 drop Frankincense Oil
1 Tbsp of Massage Oil Base or Carrier Oil of your choice

This blend may be used for a relaxing massage, added to a warm bath (about a capful of the massage oil blend) or, you can blend the essential oils in the same proportions (without the carrier oil) and use in one of our Aromatherapy Diffusers.
