Bergamot is an extremely useful and diverse oil, cold pressed from the rind of oranges, this strong oil is best known for the unique flavour it gives to Earl Grey tea. It has a warmer, fuller odour than other citrus oils and blends well with most other essential oils and appeals to both men and women.

Physical
Its natural deodorant and antiseptic properties make it great to use as an air freshener. When vaporised it dispels unpleasant odours and cigarette smoke and is also an insect deterrent.
Its antiseptic properties also make it good for combating skin infections, for example boils and herpes, and it can be used in a douche to combat urinary tract infections.
It is extremely effective on oily and blemished skin and oily hair and can alleviate psoriasis.
Used in very weak dilutions can combat colic and stomach ache.

Emotional
Used to alleviate depression, stress or anxiety, bergamot uplifts the spirits and emotions and raises confidence. It is particularly good for despondency, negative thoughts, ‘Monday Morning’ feeling, obsession, regret, shyness and travel sickness caused by fear. These qualities also make it good for relieving the emotional symptoms of PMT.
The oil can be successfully used to treat these through inhalation or applied to the skin in massage, baths or cosmetics.
