Function and uses

Citrus aurantium, also known as Bitter Orange or Seville orange, is a plant used for medicinal purposes in China, South America, India and North America. The leaves, flowers, dried fruit and dried peel are all used for aiding stomach ailments, constipation and supporting the nervous system. Currently, citrus aurantium is used in many weight loss products.

 

Weight Loss

Citrus aurantium contains the plant chemical, synephrine, which is similar to epinephrine in its chemical structure, and is the reason citrus aurantium has been used in weight loss products after Ephedra was taken off the market. Synephrine stimulates the nervous system, and is used to decrease appetite.  

 

Digestion

Citrus aurantium is used in herbal medicines as a general digestive tonic and can be prescribed for indigestion, constipation, low stomach acid, nausea, flatulence and stomach cramps.

 

Essential Oil

Citrus aurantium is one of many plants that can be used for the extraction of Orange Blossom oil and Orange Flower water. It also can be found under the name Neroli petalae, though it is far less fragrant than true Neroli oil.

 

Warning

Citrus aurantium contains a plant chemical called synephrine, which may increase blood pressure. Anyone with high blood pressure or taking blood pressure medications should only use citrus aurantium under the supervision of their health care professional. Citrus aurantium may also affect the metabolism of many pharmaceutical drugs and should not be used in conjunction with prescribed medications.
