===== Aromatherapy =====
Another bitter orange oil, petitgrain is distilled from the leaves of the tree. Its scent is rather harsh with citrusy undertones. Petitgrain bears a resemblance to neroli but lacks its soothing qualities.
Inhale this aroma to ready your conscious mind for further work. Smelling it quickly clears away mental cobwebs, fully awakening you. As with peppermint, this action of petitgrain will often produce a sense of well-being in addition to sharpened thought processes.
The aroma can also be used in conjunction with visualization for personal protection.
