Bitter orange flowers Aromatic Water

Citrus aurantium

Bitter orange flower is suitable for all skin types. Its nourishing and astringing effect on the skin, plus its beautiful fragrance, makes it an ideal skin toner for oily skin and perfect for facials. Bitter orange flower water can be used in cooking to flavour drinks and deserts. See also under creams, tinctures and gifts. Suitable for children.

In Meditteranean countries where bitter orange flower grows, the water and essential oil are traditionally avoided in heart conditions such as heart failiure or any other weakness of the heart muscle, due to its relaxing effect. It is, however, safe to take in high blood pressure.
