Orange Blossom Hydrosol: benefits and uses in cosmetics and natural health

The flowers of the Bigaradier, the most delicate parts of this tree, give off very fine aromas. These flowers are used to obtain the essential oil of Neroli, very precious. From this distillation, we also obtain the Orange Blossom hydrolate, much more flexible in use. Very used in oriental pastries, it can also calm anxiety or hyperactivity, especially in babies. Latin name: Citrus × aurantium L. ssp amara. Distilled part: flowers
