Neroli (Citrus aurantium var amara) Tunisia

Neroli oil is a lovely and precious scent which comes from the flowers of the Bitter Orange tree. It got its name from an Italian countess of Nerola, who loved it so much that she perfumed all her clothing with it. The Bitter Orange tree grows n Spain, Italy, and South Africa. The flowers are harvested in the mornings of warm, sunny days in the late spring. The best Neroli oil is made when harvesters take care to pick only the flowers and not include any bits of leaves, as the leaves give the oil an overtone of Petitgrain. The blossoms are thrown onto sheets which are then taken to the distillery. Essential oil of Neroli contains the chemicals a-pinene, d-limonene, camphene, linalool, nerol, geraniol, neryl acetate, and geranyl acetate among others. This beautiful scent is anti-infectious, antibacterial, and antispasmodic as well. It can be used for menstrual cramps, headaches, labor pain, and heart palpitations. Neroli is a tonic to the liver and pancreas. Colicky babies can be calmed
