The freshly gathered blossoms of the evergreen tree Citrus Aurantium, commonly known as the Bitter Orange tree, are water distilled to create Neroli Oil. Citrus Aurantium has been used in complementary medicine for its versatility and helpful effects such as antibacterial and antifungal properties. | |||
A recent study performed by the Department of Midwifery of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Iran, confirmed that aromatherapy using Neroli Oil is an effective way of reducing anxiety during labor. | |||
:Citrus Aurantium blossom oil, Neroli Oil, is effective in reducing anxiety during labor | |||
The recent study sought to use aromatherapy as a means to reduce stress and induce calmness by stimulating the olfactory system. A few of C. aurantium’s benefits include the following: “stimulates the central nervous system, enhances the mood, lowers blood pressure, and has sedative, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, carminative, digestive, and diuretic effects (2).” Because it is high in flavonoids, a natural ” tranquilizer” among other properties, it has been found to reduce anxiety effectively.

Lower levels of anxiety can reduce labor pain | |||
126 women giving birth for the first time were divided into two groups, aromatherapy and control. At dilations of 3-4 and 6-8 cm, however, there was a significantly lower anxiety level in the aromatherapy group. The use of the essential oil not only reduced anxiety but also its consequences such as, increased labor pain, increased length of labor, likelihood of intervention and cesarean section, bleeding and delayed lactation. Neroli Oil has also been found to treat: | |||
:• High blood pressure | |||
:• Hemorrhoids | |||
:• Diarrhea | |||
:• Helps regenerate cells | |||
:• Antidepressant | |||
:• Fatigue | |||
:•Insomnia | |||
:How does aromatherapy work? | |||
Essential oils absorbed through inhalation stimulate the olfactory pathways in the limbic system. Through this system, the oils stimulate the brain, interact with the central nervous system, and increase blood circulation in the brain. In this study a gauze with 4mL of Neroli oil was attached to the collar of the aromatherapy group and changed every 30 minutes while the control group was attached normal saline. | |||
The particularly appealing fragrance of Neroli is said to have gotten its name from Italian princess of Nerola who loved the sweet and spicy scent. (3) Laboring women everywhere can use aromatherapy safely during their labor as “a simple, inexpensive, noninvasive, and effective” complementary medicine and a calming enjoyable fragrance. | |||
