Bitter Orange

Citrus × Aurantium, commonly known as Bitter Orange, is a citrus fruit with potential wellness benefits, particularly related to its aromatic properties and potential applications in traditional medicine.

One of its primary wellness benefits is its use in aromatherapy for its uplifting and invigorating scent. The essential oil derived from Bitter Orange is often used to reduce stress, anxiety, and improve mood. Its refreshing aroma can have a calming effect on the nervous system.

Citrus × Aurantium is also associated with potential digestive benefits. The fruit’s peel has been used traditionally to relieve symptoms of indigestion and bloating, often in the form of herbal teas or extracts.

Moreover, Bitter Orange may have mild appetite-suppressing properties, which have led to its use in weight management products and dietary supplements.

While Citrus × Aurantium offers these potential wellness benefits, it’s important to use its essential oil with care and under the guidance of a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare professional, as essential oils can be potent and should be used appropriately. Additionally, for any health concerns, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider.
