Petitgrain: The Lavender for Men
Citrus aurantium trees are widely grown around the Mediterranean region and Paraguay. The fruits, flower, leaves and twigs of the trees produce different essential oils. Petitgrain essential oil is extracted from the leaves and the twigs of the trees. The major aromatic compounds found in the petitgrain essential oil are linalyl acetate (50%-52%) and monoterpene (30%-40%), which are very close to the aromatic compounds of the true lavender essential oil. However, the scent of Petitgrain essential oil is so different from the true lavender which is more floral. Thus, Petitgrain is more acceptable by men in general. The scent of Petitgrain essential oil from Paraguay is a mixture of herbaceous and sweet floral. Diffusing Petitgrain essential oil at night could promote restful sleep, which is a very good way to help men with relaxation. Petitgrain essential oil helps to maintain a balanced autonomic nervous system. It is antitetanic, anti-inflammatory, anti-infection, and anti-bacteria. It also helps to relieve rheumatism caused by nervous system, respiratory tract infection and acne infection.
苦橙叶——男士的薰衣草
在地中海、巴拉圭广泛栽种的苦橙树 Citrus aurantium，其果实、花朵、叶片、嫩枝都可以萃取精油。苦橙叶精油就是萃取自苦橙树的叶片和嫩枝的精油。苦橙叶精油的主要芳香化合物成分是乙酸沉香酯linalyl acetate（50%-52%）和单萜醇monoterpene（30-40%），与真正薰衣草的芳香化合物特质很接近，却又和真正薰衣草典型的花类香气不同，比较容易被男士接受。巴拉圭的苦橙叶精油混合着木质和橙花的香甜气味，晚间熏香有助眠的效果，非常适合男士帮助放松。苦橙叶精油可以平衡自主神经系统，有抗痉挛、消炎、抗感染、抗菌等特质，可以缓解由神经引起的风湿症、呼吸道感染和青春痘感染。
