Sweet Orange differs from the Seville or Bitter Orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara; C. vulgaris; C. bigaradia) that yields oils of Neroli (Orange Blossom), Petitgrain, and Bitter Orange. This variety includes such familiar tasty favorites as the Navel and Valencia, grown in Florida, California, and around the Mediterranean from where its distilled oil is most often produced. Although less effectual than the oils of Neroli or Mandarin, Sweet Orange shares with these other orange oils certain antispasmodic and hypotensive properties helpful in the treatment of palpitations, spasms, etc. It also shares similar mood enhancing qualities. Sweet Orange is mildly antibacterial and antiseptic. More notably a tonic and depurative, it works as well topically as a skin and body care toner and cleanser. It is readily administered in fragrances, spritzers, and diffusors.

The precise botanical identity of most commercial “Oregano oils” is always uncertain. Most are, in fact, not Origanum vulgare at all but instead either Origanum marjorana (Sweet Marjoram) or “Spanish” Oregano (Thymus capitatus). Some oils are erroneously labeled “Oregano leaf oil” or Origanum vulgare but are actually Marjoram or Thyme rather than true Oregano. Others are a mixture of Marjoram and Thyme sometimes with, sometimes without Oregano. Much of this confusion is understandable since Oregano, Marjoram, and Thyme are alike members of the same botanical family. Oregano oil possesses extraordinarily potent and broad purifying and antiseptic properties. Like other curative culinary herbs, Oregano has excellent digestive attributes but its powerful essential oil must be used very cautiously or under the supervision of a knowledgeable health practitioner. If used topically, correct dilution and proper application are most important because Oregano is strongly rubefacient and may cause skin irritation.

Patchouli’s universal fame as an aphrodisiac and euphoric began in India where it remains immensely popular as a fragrance fixative and incense mainstay. Its qualities and aroma are thought to improve with age. The people of India have likewise been equally aware of Patchouli’s benefits for nearly every skin, scalp, and foot condition, for venomous bites and stings, and for sores and wounds. Generally, Patchouli is an excellent insect repellent and antiphlogistic skin care agent. The oil is well worth including in room and body fresheners, foot and body baths, compresses, and stress-relief massage.

No other spice is more famous or popular. Its marvelous flavor, stomachic and carminative properties make it extraordinarily valuable for a variety of conditions. Analgesic and rubefacient, Black Pepper is a good topical stimulant for all cold conditions to increase circulation, tone muscles and joints, and help inhibit pain.

A traditional nervine and digestive aid, Peppermint has a strong cooling effect that provides relief to aching muscles and a lift to tired legs and feet. A few pure drops neat or in a blend will enhance reflexology treatments. Also, a few drops on a tissue will lend immediate relief to sinus congestion and common headaches. Be cautious when using Peppermint with water treatments, such as compresses, steams, or baths, because it may cause an uncomfortable chill.

The same Seville or Bitter Orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara; C. vulgaris; C. bigaradia) that produces the oils of Neroli (Orange Blossom) from its flowers and Bitter Orange from its fruit also yields from its leaves Petitgrain oil. The oil is a frequent choice of the food flavoring, fragrancing, and pharmaceutical industries for both its delightful taste and aroma. The orange leaf oil of Petitgrain is a less expensive and milder alternative to Neroli and more versatile than the expressed Orange oil. Petitgrain Bigarade is an effective antiperspirant deodorant and astringent skin and scalp care agent. Its safety and versatility make it widely useful in skin and hair care treatments, fragrances or air fresheners, baths or compresses, and as a diffusor or massage oil. Petitgrain Bigarade is distinguishable from other petitgrain oils that are similarly produced from other citrus tree leaves.
