doTERRA Petitgrain
Fresh & floral
Petigrain
Botanical name: Citrus aurantium
Country of origin: Paraguay
Application: internal, external, aromatic
Petitgrain means "small grain", which refers to the small, unripe fruits that were originally distilled.
The additional name "Bigaradier" (French for bitter orange) distinguishes the essential oil from the petitgrain oil "Mandarinier", which is obtained from the mandarin tree (Citrus reticulata).
Why Paraguay?
The bitter orange trees used for petitgrain essential oil come from central and eastern Paraguay. Paraguayan farmers have been producing petitgrain for decades and therefore know exactly how to distill high-quality products. By sourcing petitgrain from Paraguay through our Co-Impact Sourcing® initiative, we support rural community projects and provide smallholder farmers with a diversified income source.
What does petitgrain smell like?
Petitgrain oil has a fresh, floral scent with a slightly citrusy and green note. It is gentle yet invigorating and is often described as calming. The scent of petitgrain is less sweet than bitter orange or neroli oil and has a more tart, woody depth.

100% Pure Natural Oils
The quality and purity of essential oils are crucial for their effectiveness. doTERRA guarantees that its essential oils are 100% pure and contain no synthetic additives, fillers, or harmful chemicals. They are neither diluted nor blended with inferior oils.
It is important to note that the purity and authenticity of essential oils can vary depending on the manufacturer. Therefore, when selecting essential oils, it is advisable to choose trusted brands that test their products for quality, purity, and efficacy and provide transparent information about their sourcing practices.
The production of petitgrain oil
Petitgrain comes from the bitter orange tree. Three essential oils are extracted from the bitter orange tree: petitgrain from the leaves and twigs, neroli from the blossoms, and orange oil by cold-pressing the fruit peels. However, the same tree cannot produce all three oils, which is one of the reasons why we source petitgrain essential oil from Paraguay and neroli essential oil from Egypt.
Petitgrain is sourced from small producers in Paraguay who cultivate, harvest, and distill the essential oil on their own land. Many farmers use the trees like a "savings account"—when they need additional funds (for example, for school), they harvest the trees, produce the essential oil, and sell it to generate the necessary income. The trees can be harvested up to twice a year, and the leaves and twigs that have already been distilled are used as mulch, fuel for the distillation equipment, or as animal feed.
The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
