Neroli Essential Oil

Neroli essential oil (distilled from bitter orange blossoms) is considered gentle and safe for breastfeeding mothers when properly diluted (1–2% in a carrier oil) and applied away from the breast area. Its calming, slightly floral scent makes it popular for stress relief and sleep support during the postpartum period.
