Bergamot Essential Oil is artfully extracted by expression from the ripe and unripe fruits of the bergamot orange tree. This exquisite essential oil boasts a citrus-like yet sweet aroma, creating an atmosphere of relaxation and joy in your space. Beyond its delightful scent, it offers various benefits, including support for urinary tract health, skin conditions, and enhanced liver, spleen, and stomach functions.

In aromatherapy, this oil is cherished for its ability to alleviate feelings of depression, stress, tension, low self-confidence, fear, and hysteria. It also plays a role in healing skin infections, such as minor wounds, psoriasis, cold sores, and eczema. Individuals experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), compulsive eating, postnatal depression, colds, and flu may find relief through its use.

Bergamot oil is a beloved choice in aromatherapy, ideal for use in vapourisers, massages, or blended into bath water for a soothing experience. However, caution is advised when applying this oil to sensitive skin, particularly if you will be exposed to sunlight afterward, as it may cause burns. It is wise to keep out of the sun after application.

The name Bergamot is derived from the city of Bergamo in Lombardy, Italy, where this exceptional oil was first sold. Cultivated since the 16th century in the Mediterranean regions of Italy and Greece, it has a rich history in both the perfume and food industries, famously flavouring Earl Grey tea. While the extraction of essential oil is a more recent development, the fruit and its essence have been treasured in traditional medicine for centuries.
