Frequently Asked Questions
How to use Bitter Orange essential oil?
  • There are several ways to effectively use Bitter Orange essential oil and obtain its benefits, including 1.) Add 10 drops to your essential oil diffuser per 100 ml of water. 2.) Dilute 12 drops per 1 ounce of carrier oil and use in a skin-nourishing massage. 3.) Add 6 drops to 1 ounce of Castille soap and 1 cup of Epsom salt for added magnesium absorption. Add the mixture to your bath and soak up the goodness. 4.) Add 10 drops to an Essential Oil Inhaler and take it with you for on-the-go therapeutic use.
What does Bitter Orange essential oil taste like?
  • Essential oils are powerful, concentrated substances so a little goes a long way. Two of the most effective ways to use them is by way of inhalation and topical use. Tasting or ingesting Bitter Orange essential oil is rarely necessary or recommended, no matter the brand. Ingestion can lead to adverse reactions such as medication contraindications, mucous membrane irritation, sensitization and nausea if done incorrectly. Therefore, if you wish to take essential oils internally, we strongly recommend consulting with a knowledgeable professional with experience in internal use.
What is Bitter Orange essential oil?
  • Bitter Orange is derived from the orange peel of the same tree as both Petitgrain and Neroli. Derived from the peels of Seville oranges, Bitter Orange is sweet with dry, green undertones. This variety of citrus offers immune support, mood-boosting properties and enhances the appearance of glowing skin when used nightly. It’s therefore no surprise that it shares a similar aroma quality to both these oils–the sharp, vegetative aroma of Petitgrain and the floral sweetness of Neroli. Much like its orange relatives, Bitter Orange is also very fruity and fresh.
What is Bitter Orange essential oil used for?
  • Bitter Orange essential oil (Citrus aurantium amara) has more to offer than just its fresh, citrusy and uplifting aroma. Therapeutically, it works to reduce pain, stress and heartburn. Diffused, it supports the immune system while encouraging energy and antioxidant levels. Its hefty limonene content and fresh aroma can also uplift mood. To enjoy its many benefits, we recommend diffusing it or diluting it and applying topically.
Can I substitute Bitter Orange essential oil for Neroli?
  • Bitter Orange is derived from the fruit that comes from the same tree as Neroli blossoms. However, Neroli is steam distilled from the flowers of the Citrus aurantium tree. It’s therefore no surprise that they share a similar aroma quality. Bitter Orange is citrusy and fruity whereas Neroli is floral, sweet and rounded. Bitter Orange can alleviate stress and soothe away depressed emotions through direct inhalation. Neroli nourishes skin, reduces stretch marks and soothes anxiety. Both oils can be used interchangeably in some cases, but not all.

New Favorite Orange!

I’ve been searching for a really strong, less sweet citrus since Edens Garden stopped offering wild orange a few years ago and Bitter Orange is it!! I’m in love with it! It’s strong, tart, slightly bitter, and green, with the exact fragrance that hits you when you first start to peel an orange. So fresh and energizing! I tend to prefer passive diffusion with citrus oils because they seem to lose their potency in a water diffuser. This has been lovely in lotion and body oil. I regret not ordering a bigger bottle.

A Twist on Orange

I was so excited to see that EG started offering more citrus oils. It makes me happy to see the diversity they offer! As to this particular oil, it is oh so wonderful... it’s not exactly like the sweet orange. Instead, it has a green, sour, petitgrain-like bitterness. It really compliments the new blend Vitality that was just released. This oil is such a stress reliever and I’m sooo glad to add it to my arsenal! Definitely on my list to buy again.
