In this blog article we discuss the special scent and effect of Orange Blossom and the addition to our organic Moroccan Argan oil.

VARIOUS ESOTERIC OILS FROM THE ORANGE TREE

The Orange Tree is an evergreen tree with shiny dark green leaves, wonderfully scented white flowers and the well-known orange fruits. Three essential oils come from these elements:

1. Orange blossom (or Neroli) oil from the flowers. The oil smells spicy and sweet at the same time with the clear characteristic of orange fruit.
2. Orange oil from the fruits. Comparable to other citrus oils such as lemon and mandarin oil.
3. Petitgrain from the leaves and twigs. This oil contains approximately the same properties as orange blossom, but is slightly less refined.

USE OF ORANGE BLOSSOM THROUGH THE CENTURIES

Oranges have been known as medicinal since the beginning of our era, but it was only in the 16th century that the natural positive properties of orange blossom were discovered. In Venice, orange blossom was already used as an antiseptic and antipyretic.

Orange blossom is also called Neroli, after the Italian princess Anne Marie of Nerola, who liked to wear this oil as a perfume. Since then, the oil has been a sought-after raw material for cosmetics and perfume, not only because of its wonderful scent but also because of its beneficial effect on dry or sensitive skin.

DELICIOUS SCENT: ORANGE BLOSSOM IN AROMATHERAPY

Orange blossom smells wonderful, but that's not all! Various positive influences are attributed to the scent of orange blossom from both traditional and modern aromatherapy:

- Has a beneficial effect on the sympathetic nervous system;
- Has a calming effect and promotes healthy sleep;
- Improves overall mood.

POSITIVE EFFECTS ON THE SKIN IN COMBINATION WITH ARGAN OIL

Argan oil has a positive effect on the skin . This is partly attributed to the unique composition of Argan oil with its high vitamin E content and the natural presence of antioxidants. On this website you will find various articles that delve deeper into the background, operation and composition of this Moroccan gold.

Orange blossom is also believed to have a beneficial effect on the skin . In China, Neroli has been used as an ingredient for cosmetics for centuries. It reduces dryness and improves skin elasticity, especially for dry, sensitive or older skin. It can have a beneficial effect on acne, scars and stretch marks.

USING ARGAN OIL WITH ORANGE BLOSSOM

Regardless of whether you use the oil for its stimulating and stimulating scent or its natural effect on the body, it is wonderful to pamper yourself with it. Treat yourself to the luxury of a relaxing massage, which is beneficial both through the touch and the effect of oils.

You can also add the Argan oil to the bath water so that you calm down and sleep wonderfully. Four to six drops is enough to wrap the bathroom in scented orange blossom vapors.
