There are many essential oils and if you approach
someone seasoned in organic botanicals, the list might still be expanding.
However, not every essential oils has been able to attain stardom. This
privilege remains exclusive to a select few. Today, we are discussing one such
member of the aromatic essential oil community, i.e. Bergamot.
Bergamot
has an interesting bit of history. It has been traced to parts of Asia and the Mediterranean nations and it seems that the
oil was quite rampant in historical times. It has been established that Bergamot
was widely cultivated in Italy.
The name too has Italian influences. Owing to global popularity, Bergamot is
now also being cultivated in parts of Africa like the Ivory Coast. Some
patches are also being commercially developed in Argentina
and Morocco.
Bergamot
essential oil has gained popularity owing to many therapeutic properties
apart from the exotic fragrance. It is known to quicken the healing of sores of
the mouth and herpes sores. The oil has anti-bacterial properties too. It is
often used in the treatment of chickenpox and shingles where it tends to soothe
the sores. This is why many naturopathy doctors also recommend Bergamot oil for
treating psoriasis. It has also found favor in the herbal treatment of eczema.
Bergamot
oil is slightly greenish in color, in its natural form. It is extracted
from the rind of the Bergamot plant. The odor is rather sweet but does not have
a typically strong floral aura. The oil is often added to premium bathing soaps
owing to its perfume-like fragrance. For cosmetic applications, Bergamot is
being increasingly sourced from Italy
with an increasing demand for its citrusy notes. Yes, Bergamot has strong
citrus notes and this makes it a beautiful oil to blend with other popular
fragrant oils like Ylang Ylang.
There are many ways of using Bergamot essential
oil. Yes, applying a few drops of the oil for daylong fragrance is the
preferred application. However, it is also used in vaporizers and as an
ingredient in incense sticks. The first, pure extract is rather thick. Here,
you might want to dilute it a bit with carrier oils. This is particularly true
when you want to use Bergamot oil for massages.
Bergamot
oil has become a rather popular aromatherapy oil. This is because it calms
the senses, helping people overcome typical psychological issues like anxiety
and stress. For those who suffer from mood swings with a disposition towards depression,
it is recommended that they add a few drops of Bergamot oil to their warm bath.
When whiffed on a regular basis, the oil might have some curative actions too
such as stimulating the liver, helping you digest better. The oil is also added
to vaporizers when a person is suffering from viral infections or general
malaise.
Bergamot essential oil presents such a vast array
of fragrant and therapeutic properties because of its flavonoids—these volatile
biological compounds are also found in many fruits and vegetables. This is what
makes Bergamot oil a useful relaxant. Regular massages with Bergamot oil can
sooth the nerves and put nervous energy to rest. It is highly recommended to
apply the oil before going to bed if you have been suffering from insomnia. Though
it cannot be called a sedative oil, Bergamot comes rather close to this niche.
Bergamot
is often included in herbal skin creams that are recommended for treating
scars. This is because regular application of trace amounts of Bergamot oil is
known to fasten the healing process and tone down the intensity of the scar. Bergamot
does this by ensuring that the distribution of pigments is uniform, helping you
achieve better skin tone.

- Clary Sage
- Frankincense,
- Jasmine
- Cypress
- Geranium
