Description:
Petitgrain Essential Oil is made by steam distilling fresh leaves and twigs of the Bitter Orange tree Citrus aurantium.
This is the same tree that Neroli Oil comes from, but Neroli Oil is made from steam distillation of the flowers/blossoms. 
The oil was previously extracted from green and young oranges the size of peas, hence the name Petitgrain.
Petitgrain has many of the benefits and the same uses as Neroli Essential oil.

This oil has a woodsy, fresh scent with a hint of floral. This wonderful aroma is a favorite for natural perfumery.
When added to body or room spray, the delightful scent of Petitgrain gives off a wonderful aroma and creates an environment that is uplifting and energizing.
During times of great emotional upheaval, Petitgrain is a go-to choice to help balance emotions.
Gentle and effective for skincare, it can help with blemishes and oily skin.
Petitgrain is one of the oils used to soothe upset tummies when applied with your favorite carrier oil to the abdomen.

Antiseptic, antispasmodic, anti-depressant, deodorant, nervine, and a sedative.

Skincare:
This oil has antiseptic properties and can help fight infection by inhibiting bacterial growth when applied to a wound. As it helps fight bacteria and with its lovely floral and woody scent, this oil is a perfect addition to deodorant. It is good for maintaining moisture and oil balance of the skin and can be helpful in the treatment of acne and pimples and can help ease dryness and cracking.

Diffuser:
This oil is antispasmodic so can help relax tissues, nerves, muscles and blood vessels responsible for unwanted, hard-to-control coughing fits. It can uplift moods, help overcome depression, anxiety, stress and anger and promote positive thinking. It has a soothing calming effect on the nerves and will help strengthen the nervous system. As it is a good sedative, diffused in the bedroom it can help with insomnia. Diffused in the heat of summer it will give the home a refreshing, cooling feeling.
