Bergamot Oil
Did you know that this essential oil is the secret behind Earl Grey tea's unique and complex flavour? Indeed, Earl Grey tea combines food-grade bergamot essential oil with black tea leaves - a staple of English tea assortments and well-loved worldwide. For those unfamiliar, bergamot is a deliciously aromatic citrus fruit – most probably a natural hybrid of sour orange and lemon. It is reminiscent of orange oil but has more complex notes and an underlying floral character. Its aroma is refreshing and has sharp, intensely citrusy notes and a sour zing.
Interestingly, the bergamot fruit is grown exclusively to make essential oil since it is deemed unconsumable due to its overpoweringly intense, bitter, and sour taste. This oil is made from the rind of the fruit, and producing a mere 3 ounces (85 g) of bergamot oil requires the rinds of a whopping 100 bergamot oranges!
From a therapeutic perspective, this oil offers some significant health benefits, such as balancing mood, protecting cardiovascular health, promoting healthy digestion when applied topically, and helping to relieve respiratory ailments. Its sunny and pleasant citrus scent also makes bergamot oil remarkable as a fresh and intoxicating fragrance.

Therapeutic Properties Of Bergamot Essential Oil
Bergamot oil has potent antibacterial, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties. Some of its most common uses include boosting skin health – i.e. preventing and treating acne, abscesses, boils, eczema, psoriasis, cold sores, and pruritis (itchy, dry skin). Bergamot oil is also frequently recommended as a powerful relaxant to quickly relieve symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression and lift the mood. It's also effective to alleviate pain associated with sprains, strains, muscle aches, joint pain, and headaches; and is ideally suited at stimulating digestion and soothing symptoms of indigestion, such as feeling uncomfortably full after a meal, belching or flatulence, reflux, bloating, nausea, and vomiting.
Using Essential Oils
Bergamot essential oil can be used in various ways, including diffused in the home, clinic, or work, to calm, soothe, and help relieve stress and agitation. It should also be added to a carrier oil when applied to the skin through massage or while showering to calm the nervous system and bolster skin health. It can also be used in myriad DIY skincare recipes to take your beauty regimen to the next level.
