Aromatherapy Share: Introducing The Petitgrains - Our Newest Plant Teachers...

This year, more than ever, we are feeling it is vital that we keep our stress levels low, nervous systems calm, and hearts in harmony. This is why we have been attracted to the petitgrain essences. The word "petitegrain" means "small grain", and refers to the twigs and branches of a plant or tree. In addition to the Petitgrain Combava that we have from Madagascar, we now have four new petitgrains that are here to help us stay calm in the eye of the storm. We would like to introduce Petitgrain Orange Bigarage, Petitgrain Lemon, Petitgrain Mandarin, and Petitgrain Neroli.


Petitgrain Orange Bigarade comes from the twigs and leaves of the Bitter Orange Tree. This Orange Tree is said to have originated in Northern India, and has since spread to China, Persia, and all over the world. This essence is anti-fungal, anti-septic, and regenerative for the skin. She helps a cold, the flu, bronchitis, insomnia, stomach issues, kidneys, gallbladder, blood sugar, skin problems, heart palpitations, and much more. Energetically, Petitgrain Orange addresses depression, relaxation, concentration, stress, addictions, and rigidity. She supports mental relaxation and clarity, changing gracefully, and using our struggles as our strengths.


Petitgrain Lemon comes from the twigs and leaves of the Lemon Tree. Fossil discoveries show that Lemon trees date back to over 7 million years ago in China. In 1794, a Scottish Doctor James Lind discovered that Petitgrains help with Vitamin C deficiency. Once this word was out, she became very popular with those out at sea. Petitgrain Lemon Is wonderful for inflammation, arthritic conditions, muscle pain, cracked skin, hair loss, insomnia, and meditation - to name just a few of her benefits. Energetically, Petigrain Lemon is great for depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, emotional pain, addictions, and facing life with courage.


Petitgrain Mandarin is associated with good fortune, abundance, fertility, and celebration. The word "Orange" sounds like the word "wealth" in Mandarin. Petitgrain Mandarin is great for the skin, eczema, scars, stretch marks, skin irritations, hair loss, inflammation, digestion, edema, bronchitis, PMS, immunity, and so much more. Energetically, she is great for depression, anxiety, insomnia, forgiveness, childhood trauma, repressed memories, and our ability to Love ourselves and others. This is one of the best plant essences for children who have struggled in their social lives, in school, or in being accepted as highly sensitive.


Petitgrain Neroli comes from the twigs, leaves, and flowers of the Bitter Orange Tree. She was first distilled by Anna Maria de la Timoile of Nerola who Loved her scent and wanted to smell like her flowers every day. This tree is the symbol of purity, innocence, fertility, and abundance. Petitgrain Neroli is great for inflammation, muscle pain, building collagen, insomnia, stretch marks, circulation, blood pressure, heart palpitations, edema, digestion, concentration, and much more. Energetically, she is great for depression, stress, tension, shock, post-partum support, warmth, alignment to a higher purpose, and overall harmony of the mind, body, and soul.


We are thrilled to have these amazing plant teachers available for self-care and self-healing at this time. We hope that you will try them for yourself, and experience their soothing, relaxing, and calming effects. There is no coincidence that they have come into our lives at this time to help us all through these challenging times. We are so grateful for nature and the healing Love she shares so generously.
