Citrus spp.
Flor de Azhar.
The flowers.
The flowers are steeped in hot water to make a tea. Teas or capsules containing this flower plus other herbs with sedating properties are also used.
The flowers of both the bitter and the sweet varieties of orange have been used as a treatment for anxiety and insomnia, due to their mildly sedating effects on the nervous system. An infusion (tea) made from the flowers is also recommended for mild stomach upset and as an aid to digestion. The flowers may have mild diuretic (promote urination) properties as well.
