But let's imagine its practical use.

Wound healing

Petitgrain has excellent antiseptic effects, so you can apply it topically to wounds under bandages. It prevents the formation of microbes and thus accelerates wound healing and ensures a smooth course of regeneration without infections or wound inflammation caused by microbes.

stress relief and better sleep

Do you have a busy day ahead of you? A school exam, a job interview or a tough journey? Petitgrain acts as a nerve tonic, calming both the mind and the troubled heart. Apply to your bed linen or aromatherapy inhalers or diffusers to help you fall asleep and get a good night's sleep.

Deodorant

Add a few drops of essential oil to your favourite deodorant recipe and you're sure to feel the change ;-) it's so antiseptic it prevents the micro-organisms that cause odour. You can also use it in oils and bath salts, as well as homemade cleaning products.

Concentration and mental alertness

Petitgrain is specific in that, although it is an excellent anti-anxiety agent, it does not act as a sedative, it does noton the contrary, it calms to the extent that it improves concentration, with some experiences confirming an improvement in memory.

If you like meditation, this essential oil is ideal for working on your root and heart chakras.

Healthy looking scalp and hair

There's no need to get too complicated here either - just add 1-2 drops of oil to your shampoo or conditioner and the result will be smoother, shinier and softer hair.

Acne and oily skin

Just as this essential oil works against oily hair and skin, it will provide the same effect on your skin. Just add a few drops to your toner.

Help overcome addictions

Research has confirmed that inhaling this oil is a very good helping companion technique for treating addictions, whether to cigarettes, alcohol or drugs. It also works well as a preventative measure, just when you feel the urge to indulge in something you would rather avoid.
