Bergamot (FCF) 50ml

The Latin name for Bergamot essential oil is Citrus Bergamia, which is obtained through cold expression of the fruit peel, whether ripe or unripe, of the Bergamot orange tree. This sweetly citrus-scented essential oil is recognized for its capacity to create a calm and happy sensation. It is utilized to treat urinary tract infections, skin disorders, and to enhance liver, spleen, and stomach functions.

Bergamot essential oil is regarded as useful in aromatherapy to treat a variety of psychological issues such as depression, stress, tension, low self-confidence, fear, and hysteria. It has skin purifying properties and can be utilized to heal skin infections like general wounds, psoriasis, cold sores, and eczema. Bergamot oil has been used to help alleviate SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorder), PMS, compulsive eating, postnatal depression, colds, and flu. It is frequently used in aromatherapy in vaporisers, massages, and blended into bath water. Experts advise caution when applying this oil to sensitive skin that will be exposed to sunlight afterward, as it may cause burns. If this oil has been applied to the skin, avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

The term Bergamot is derived from the name of the Italian city Bergamo in Lombardy, where the oil was first marketed. Bergamot trees have been cultivated in Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Greece since the 16th century. The fruit, essence, and flavour have been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years, while the essential oil has only been extracted more recently. The fruit and its essence and flavour have been frequently used in the perfume and food industries (Earl Grey tea) for a long time.
