Bergamot essential oil, Citrus bergamia, has a lovely light, fresh, floral citrus scent that is uplifting, rejuvenating, and balancing. It helps to alleviate fatigue due to stress. Bergamot restores appetite, combats colic, strengthens the immune system, reduces fever and is generally calming. Bergamot essential oil is known to help relieve skin irritations, and is helpful in the treatment of eczema, psoriasis, acne, wounds, ulcers and herpes. It helps to balance an oily complexion and helps repel insects. Use carefully in skin preparations as citrus oils are known photosensitizers. Bergamot essential oil blends nicely with neroli, cypress, juniper, geranium, rose, ylang ylang and other florals. It is a favorite of perfumers.
Strong photosensitizer. Do not use on skin within 4 hours of exposure to the sun. Avoid during pregnancy. Not for use on babies or young children.
