PRECAUTIONS
When applied topically, neroli may increase your susceptibility to sunburn.
Try to limit your exposure to the sun or use extra sun protection.
Correct storage of neroli oil is also important as citrus oils
are the quickest to evaporate.
Keep the bottle tightly closed and store in a closet away from sunlight.
The oil should be clear, as any cloudiness may indicate spoilage
that can lead to skin problems.
When these simple precautions are followed,
neroli is a safe and effective essential oil.

~ Aromatheraputic Uses ~
The sweet floral aroma of Neroli is often diffused through the air
to relieve nervous tension and fatigue and to lift your spirits.
The most important use of Neroli is in psychoaromatherapy, in treating
problems in the emotional sphere such as anxiety and depression.
The essential oil of neroli is extracted from the flowers
of orange trees, and it takes virtually a ton of flowers
to produce a mere quart of oil.
Neroli is named after the Princess Nerole,
who introduced orange-blossom oil to Italy in the 1600's.
All the citrus oils are wonderful antidepressants,
especially in wintertime.
Neroli enjoys a certain reputation as an aphrodisiac.

~ Neroli for Health ~
Neroli is tranquilizing and balancing
to the nervous system and may be diffused into the atmosphere
to relieve depression, tension, and anxiety.
Massage several drops of Neroli diluted
with a tablespoon of vegetable carrier oil into your abdomen,
using gentle circular motions, to relieve stress.
Add a few drops of Neroli to an evening bath
to help get a good nights sleep.
To decompress from a hard day at work, lie down and relax
with a hot neroli compress on your tummy.
Neroli can also be used in all of the above ways
-- diffused into the air, added to bath, massage oil or hot compress
-- to relieve premenstral tension.
