If you could capture sunshine in a bottle, it would be Bergamot. The fresh, citrusy and slightly floral scent of this essential oil has an uplifting effect. You may recognize its soothing aroma as a common top note in perfumes or as the flavour of Earl Grey tea. Cold pressed from the rind of Italian-grown bergamot oranges, Bergamot oil has been used in Italian folk medicine for hundreds of years. Today, this citrus oil can be used to help support digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, urinary tract infections and prevent cold and flu symptoms. Thanks to its antibacterial, antiseptic anti-inflammatory properties, Bergamot can do wonders for your skin. It maybe helpful in reducing acne, oily skin, boils, cold sores, eczema, infections and bug bites.
When stress and anxiety levels are high, diffuse Bergamot for some relief. The calming benefits of Bergamot also work well for a relaxing massage, an evening bath or topical application to the forehead and temples. The clean, uplifting scent will brighten your mood, ease tension and promote clarity. The cleansing and restorative qualities of Bergamot essential oil can help you let go of locked-up emotions and reignite self-acceptance and optimism. It may be an oil to consider trying out for some support if you are working through periods of depression, sadness or grief.
