dōTERRA Petitgrain | Bitter Orange Oil

Petitgrain essential oil is extracted from the bitter orange tree, which has been used in traditional healing practices for centuries. In the past, petitgrain essential oil was used for cleansing. However, emerging scientific evidence confirms many additional uses and benefits of petitgrain oil. Among other things, it provides a feeling of relaxation and reduces the appearance of skin imperfections. Petitgrain oil is commonly used in the perfume industry due to its fresh, herbal aroma. Petitgrain oil is also a great companion to lavender essential oil, as they share many similar benefits.
