Bergamot Essential Oil

About

Bergamot Essential Oil is derived from the peel of the bergamot orange, Citrus bergamia, primarily native to Italy. It is known for its distinctive citrus scent with floral notes, making it a popular choice in aromatherapy and perfumery. The oil contains key compounds like limonene, linalyl acetate, and linalool, which contribute to its therapeutic properties. Bergamot oil is uplifting and calming, often used to reduce anxiety and stress by promoting relaxation and lowering cortisol levels. Bergamot Essential Oil offers a range of benefits beyond emotional balance. It is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic, making it useful for skin care and aiding digestion. It can help alleviate pain and is sometimes used to relieve symptoms of depression. In skincare, bergamot oil soothes irritated skin and reduces acne. For stress relief, it can be inhaled directly or diffused. However, it should be diluted with a carrier oil before topical application to avoid photosensitivity. Bergamot oil is also a natural deodorant and can enhance sleep quality by promoting relaxation.
