Petitgrain Essential Oil

Petitgrain essential oil is one of several essential oils derived from the bitter orange tree. It has a refreshing aroma and provides skin and hair care benefits when applied topically. The bitter orange tree is unique, in that it is used to obtain three distinct essential oils: Bitter Orange from the orange peels, Neroli from the orange blossoms, and Petitgrain from the leaves and immature fruit. Petitgrain essential oil has a fresh, uplifting aroma that is often used in luxury perfumes and skin care products to add a lush, green, citrus note. Applied topically, it provides several skin care benefits without the photosensitizing effect of related citrus essential oils.

Diffusing Notes

These are approximate drops.  Adjust recipes to your needs.  If a recipe is too strong for you, add fewer drops.  Do you need more?  Just add more, but no more than 8-12 drops for all of our diffusers with the exception of the Aria diffuser which requires 15-25 drops.

Tip:  When you first begin diffusing, start with less essential oil than listed in the recipes and build to more as desired.  You should give your body time to adjust to the essential oils.  Almost all the Young Living diffusers are ultrasonic which provides a cool-mist humidifier along with the essential oils.  These diffusers are safe to run all day.  Pay attention to the size of the room because the size will impact the intensity of diffusing.  Nebulizers and atomizers are different than ultrasonic diffusers because they do not use water.  For these, note the time limit for diffusing stated on each individual oil bottle.
