Neroli contains a high percentage of linalool, which is a recognized calming agent for the nervous system and an anxiolytic. It inhibits the binding of glutamate in the cerebral cortex and inhibits the release of acetylcholine, reducing the opening time of ion channels at the neuromuscular junction. Like chamomile, this essential oil is also used against emotional shocks. It blends well with lemon, grapefruit, and verbena.
