In this episode of the Vetiver Vibes podcast, Rachael Dean and Nikki Fraser, dive into the wonderful world of neroli essential oil, which happens to be Rachael's favourite essential oil.
We explore the botanical name of neroli, Citrus aurantium var amata, and its origins from the blossoms of the bitter orange plant. We discuss its beautiful scent, the labour-intensive process of harvesting the delicate flowers, and the high demand that contributes to its price.
We highlight the chemical constituents of neroli, particularly its high levels of linalool, which provide anxiolytic and antidepressant properties. This makes neroli not only uplifting but also beneficial for calming the mind and supporting emotional balance. We touch on its physical benefits, including its use for digestive issues, insomnia, and menstrual discomfort.
Spiritually, we discuss how neroli can help reconnect individuals with self-love and support emotional healing, making it a powerful oil for those working through past traumas. We also mention its general safety for use, which is a significant advantage when blending for clients.
To wrap up the episode, we share an affirmation related to neroli and pull a card from the Oracle of the Essence deck, focusing on themes of trust and benevolence with marjoram. We encourage our listeners to reach out and share their experiences with neroli, whether they are familiar with it or interested in trying it for the first time.
Thank you for joining us on this aromatic journey, and we hope you enjoy the episode!
