Overview
Bitter orange is an aromatic variety of citrus that produces highly bitter, acidic fruits. The tree, indigenous to eastern Africa, Arabia, and Syria, was cultivated in India and in Europe by 1200 C.E. Sometimes called Seville orange, bitter orange is produced in Spain, Sicily, Tripoli, California, and Florida (Trease and Evans, 1989). Unripe dried fruits and fruit peels provide ingredients for numerous products. In China, two medicinal preparations are made from bitter orange. In Europe and North America, essential oils distilled from bitter orange flowers (neroli oil) and leaves (petitgrain oil) are commonly used by perfume, cosmetic, and aromatherapy industries (Leung and Foster, 1996). These, and bitter orange oil, flavor many foods, and mask unpleasant tastes in pharmaceuticals.
In traditional Chinese medicine, Zhi qiao, prepared from the dried peel of immature, green fruit, and Zhi shi, prepared from dried fruit, have specific applications, added to formulas that treat mild indigestion, nausea, constipation, and organ prolapse (Huang, 1993).
Like Zhi qiao, Zhi shi is a traditional Chinese treatment for indigestion and anal or uterine prolapse. In its contemporary use in China, it is injected for the treatment of shock syndromes, toxic and anaphylactic shock in particular (Huang, 1993). The herb's positive inotropic effects, observed improvements to circulation of blood through the heart and cerebral tissue, and its amine content, synephrine and N-methyltyramine, validate this use.
