Bergamot Essential Oil

Emotionally

Bergamot is often used to support emotional balance. It's known for gently quelling feelings of frustration, soothing anxious minds and helping to promote optimism. Many people find it useful when they need help relaxing or letting go of emotional tension.

Physically

On a physical level, Bergamot is an effective immune booster. It can also help to clear and cleanse oily or congested skin thanks to its natural astringent, anti-inflammatory and skin-healing qualities. It’s commonly used in massage blends to support the digestive system or encourage a sense of calm before sleep.

Around the home

Bergamot can be a great addition to your natural cleaning routine. While wearing gloves, add 4 drops of Bergamot to 2 tablespoons of baking soda and combine with ½ litre of water to clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces.

Bergamot essential oil offers a bright and refreshing citrus aroma with a gentle hint of sweetness.

Aromatically, Bergamot is a top note essential oil. It’s the first oil you will smell in a blend. It blends well with Geranium, Frankincense or Lemongrass.

Originally from Asia, Bergamot is now synonymous with the Mediterranean and most often Italy, where it grows in abundance. Bergamot is a type of bitter orange with greenish-yellow skin. Its pulp is too sour to eat, so the fruit is produced solely for the extraction of essential oil from the peel. It is not possible to grow Bergamot trees from seed. Instead, young shoots are grafted onto rootstock of other citrus species such as bitter orange or lemon, to propagate new trees.

For centuries, Bergamot was an important remedy in Italian folk medicine as an antiseptic and to reduce fevers. Many people are aware of its aroma due to the fact that it is used to flavour Earl Grey Tea and was used for years in the traditional production of Eau De Cologne.
