A single pound of neroli essential oil contains about 1,000 pounds of freshly harvested orange blossoms, which explains why this intoxicating essential oil is one of the more costly to obtain. Because of its ability to alleviate depression, ease anxiety, address menstrual and premenstrual issues, and soften skin, it is well worth the investment.
APPLICATION METHODS
- Use in the bath or shower for absorption and aromatherapy benefits
- Diffuse for aromatherapy benefits
- Massage, diluted, for physical ailments
- Use with compress for muscle pain and stiffness
PRECAUTIONS
Neroli essential oil has a deeply relaxing effect and should not be used prior to driving, operating machinery, or doing other tasks that require concentration. May act as a sedative.

According to a study published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a group of hypertensive and pre-hypertensive test subjects were treated to an aromatherapy blend containing 20 percent lavender essential oil, 15 percent ylang-ylang essential oil, 10 percent marjoram essential oil, and 2 percent neroli essential oil. While their nighttime blood pressure numbers didn’t decrease, their daytime blood pressure numbers dropped, as did their reported stress levels.
