Bergamot Essential Oil Uses
Bergamot essential oil is extracted from the peel of the bergamot orange, known for its bright, citrusy, and slightly floral fragrance. It is highly valued in aromatherapy for its mood-lifting and calming properties, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of depression. Often used in blends, bergamot oil is believed to promote emotional balance and improve overall mental well-being.
Beyond its uplifting effects, bergamot oil may also be beneficial for skin care. It is sometimes included in products aimed at promoting clear, healthy skin due to its potential antibacterial and antiseptic qualities. However, as bergamot can increase sensitivity to sunlight, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure after use. Always dilute appropriately and consult with a healthcare provider before use, particularly for individuals with sensitive skin or specific health conditions.
