May Flowers- NEROLI

Tuesday, May 17, 2011


It has been claimed that neroli is named for the Italian Princess Anne-Marie Nerola, the Roman Emperor Nero, the Duchess of Tremoille (la Nerola), and the Sanskrit and Arabic words for aphrodisiac. No matter which legend you believe, I think it is safe to say that we all love neroli.



Neroli is the beautifully fragrant essential oil that is extracted from the flowers of the orange tree. 

The blossoms that come from the bitter orange tree tend to have a higher therapeutic value than those that come from other types of orange trees.

Because it takes over one hundred pounds of blossoms to produce just one quart of oil, neroli is quite costly.The numerous skin and health benefits as well as the incredible sweet floral scent make neroli essential oil worth every penny.



Neroli is fantastic for all skin types, but especially sensitive and mature skin. Because of its ability to to stimulate the growth of new healthier skin cells, it works wonders on stretch marks, scars and wrinkles.

Neroli has a soothing effect on the nervous system. So, it is helpful for those seeking relief from depression, anxiety and stress. Neroli is also an aphrodisiac.



Physically, the components of neroli help to make it fantastic for use with cold and flu, stomach ache, flatulence, digestion, headache, poor circulation insomnia, muscle spasm and cramping. 

Neroli is an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and anti-fungal oil. 



The scent of neroli is so fabulous that it is widely used in the perfume industry. Because of its popularity and expense, it is often replicated using harmful chemicals. If you are purchasing a product containing neroli
please make certain you are getting the real thing.
