Essential Oil Spotlight
Petitgrain
Citrus plants have earned a powerful place in this world by their familiar scent, taste, and health benefits. Petitgrain essential oil is derived from the bitter orange tree originally from the Southern region of China; however, in the early 18th century, Spanish Jesuits brought it to Paraguay where it thrives and now grows wild. Its name comes from the French word Petitgrain meaning“ little grains,” which refers to the small, unripe, bitter oranges that resemble cherries in size.
Like Lavender and Bergamot, Petitgrain has a calming and relaxing aroma. When consumed internally, Petitgrain can calm the nervous system * and promote a restful night’ s sleep.*
