Petitgrain Essential Oil Uses and Benefits

Petitgrain essential oil, often called “the man’s lavender,” has been used in traditional health practices for centuries. It’s one of three oils derived from the bitter orange tree– Neroli from the blossoms, Bitter Orange from the rinds of the fruits, and Petitgrain from the leaves and twigs– and sourced through doTERRA’s Co-Impact Sourcing initiative from Paraguay. It has a fresh, herbaceous scent that pairs well with virtually any citrus, but also Cassia, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Geranium, or Lemongrass essential oils.

Petitgrain is often used for cleaning purposes, but it’s also amazing for supporting healthy immune and nervous systems. As a boy mom, I love using it to help with those inevitable rough-on-the-body moments because my boys won’t complain that their knee or elbow now smells “like a girl.” Being able to add it to a diffuser with lavender or Citrus Bliss to help everyone “relax and get happy” after school has been a wonderful gift to our family!

When it comes to it being the “man’s lavender,” it truly is. My pilot husband loves it in lotion to soothe his hands during a long day in the dry air of an airplane– it doesn’t have the “girly” scent that so many lotions have, but it also has the added benefits of essential oils, especially combined with sandalwood or clove essential oils. It’s been known to calm a cranky captain or two, as well!

If you’d like to purchase this oil at retail cost, you may do so here. However, if you’d like to purchase them at wholesale cost (think Costco or Sam’s!), check out this post about how to get a membership to pay 25% LESS than you would otherwise!

Petitgrain Essential Oil Uses and Benefits

The doTERRA Difference

I recommend only one brand of essential oils: doTERRA essential oils. Please, please don’t use these tips and tricks with any other brand (it’s not safe, nor will you get the benefits that you will from these).

Because there isn’t regulation in the essential oil market, you need to do your research. After doing mine, I chose doTERRA essential oils for our family. To find out why, check out my blog post about Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils.
