This essence, comparable to Dr. Bach Rescue Remedy, helps us to conquer fears, traumas, shocks and (non-pathological) depression.
Neroli, derived from orange flowers, spiritually pulls us toward the search for equilibrium in our base instincts.
Decidedly aphrodisiac, it teaches us to love and care for our bodies. It opens us up to new love, even after great heartbreak and disillusionment.
It has the capacity to purify all of our emotional centers, creating an aura of protection and comfort around us. In the same way it helps those who are excessively impulsive or let down by life, it takes care of the old who are often weighed down by age.
In essence, Neroli oil guides us throughout all of our lives: in youth, it abates our childhood traumas, during puberty it accompanies us during the awakening of our sexuality and helps us to make wise and balanced choices, while in old age it strengthens our tired members.
