Petitgrain
Size
15 ml bottle
Description
Petitgrain essential oil is derived from the bitter orange tree, which has a long history of use in traditional health practices.
Historically, Petitgrain essential oil has been used for cleaning purposes. Emerging scientific evidence provides support for these traditional and other uses. There are three essential oils derived from the bitter orange tree. Petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs of the tree, Neroli essential oil is distilled from the blossoms, and Bitter Orange oil is produced by cold pressing the rinds of the fruits. Petitgrain is widely used in the perfume industry, giving body sprays, fragrances, lotions, and colognes a fresh, herbaceous note that is popular among both women and men. By sourcing Petitgrain from Paraguay through our Co-Impact Sourcing® initiative, doTERRA is able to support needed rural community development projects and provide diversified income for small-scale farmers. This approach provides an economically viable alternative to clear-cutting land, dramatically helping to protect the remaining patches of the Atlantic Rainforest in eastern Paraguay.
Uses

- Before going to bed, add a few drops of Petitgrain along with Lavender or Bergamot to pillows and bedding for an incredibly restful nights sleep.
- For a relaxing foot massage, combine a few drops with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil and rub on the bottom of your feet.
- Add a few drops to Fractionated Coconut Oil and apply to help reduce the appearance of skin imperfections.
