Neroli oil has to be one of my personal favourites. It comes from the flower of the bitter orange (Seville Orange).

It’s a gentle sedative oil with antidepressant properties. It’s excellent for treating anxiety and can help with anxiety related insomnia. It’s also useful for helping hormone related issues such as PMT and menopause.

Neroli is a rejuvenating skin care preparation as it stimulates the growth of healthy new cells. As it is safe to use during pregnancy this means it’s a good oil to use with mandarin in a rich carrier oil to help prevent stretch marks.
