Bergamot

Bergamot (Italy) (Citrus aurantium bergamia-Rutaceae)

Bergamot oil is expressed from the peel of a fruit that is grown in Calabria, Italy. The oil has an uplifting, sweet-spicy lemon odor and is emerald-green color. It is known as an anti-spasmodic and calmative when smelled. It is used to increase appetite and to decrease anxiety and depression. It may be diffused for respiratory problems. It is a powerful antiseptic and is also helpful when used in a bath (8 to 10 drops) to address general illness.

Description

Principal Constituents: Contains up to 50% of linalyl acetate; bergamotine, bergaptene, dlimonene and linalool.

Perfume Note: Top Anecdotal Information: With a pleasant aroma, this essential oil is a favorite for stress release and as a non-toxic product in perfuming. Bergamot’s deodorizing qualities are a good choice for bad breath and under arm and/or foot deodorizers. It is effective for oily skin when blended with Geranium Rose. For acne it is effective when blended with Ti-tree. It is best when blended with Lavender for skin problems like seborrhea of the scalp, herpes, and psoriasis. Bergamot, like all citrus essential oils, increases skin photosensitivity and for this reason it is used in “rapid” suntan blends.

Note: You should avoid using Bergamot in blends in which the effects of the sun should not be increased.

Herbal Tea: The robust aromatic herb of Bergamot has been traditionally used as a relaxing anti-depressant tea. It is also recommended for the cold and flu season.
