Description

Petitgrain essential oil provides calming and relaxing benefits that can help reduce feelings of tension and stress.

Petitgrain essential oil is extracted from the bitter orange tree, which has a long history of use in traditional health practices. Historically, Petitgrain essential oil has been used in cleansing activities and also internally to strengthen the functions of the immune and nervous systems.* New scientific evidence has corroborated the validity of these traditional applications and other uses. There are three essential oils derived from the bitter orange tree. Petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and branches of the tree, Neroli essential oil is distilled from the flowers, and bitter orange essential oil is produced through cold pressing of the fruit peels. Petitgrain is widely used in the perfumery industry, giving body sprays, fragrances, lotions, and colognes a fresh, herbaceous touch that is popular with both men and women. By sourcing Petitgrain in Paraguay through the Co-Impact Sourcing initiative, dōTERRA can support rural community development projects and facilitate diversified income generation for small farmers. This method provides an economically viable alternative to deforestation, dramatically helping to protect the remaining areas of the Atlantic Forest in eastern Paraguay.

  • Before bedtime, place a few drops of Petitgrain combined with lavender or bergamot on your pillows and sheets and enjoy its aromatic benefits.
  • Add one or two drops to water or juice and drink to support the health of the cardiovascular, immune, nervous, and digestive systems.*
