Bergamot belongs to the citrus bergamia family and is a cross between lemon and orange seeds. This gives it a more compounded quality as it carries within it a number of health and nutritional benefits from both plants and some more!
The citrusy background of bergamot lends it a most impressive combination of properties which work in cosmetics, therapy and health concerns.
The essential oil carries a fruity scent which makes it an all time ideal choice for sending you off to sleep and a state of relaxation. Bergamot essential oil can be found as a shade of green or yellowish-green and can also be found as yellowish-brown colored oil.
The essential oil is extracted from the peel and zest of the fruit through cold compression. It originates from France and in some parts of Europe and the tropics. The oil has a thin consistency and is rich with a rich, warm balsamic undertone. Because it is a cross breed, it can be substituted for tangerine, wild orange or lemon essential oils.
Blending
Bergamot can be made into a blended essential oil well with a number of other oil bases and scents such as;
| Black pepper | Clary Sage | Frankincense |
| Jasmine | Rosemary | Ylang-Ylang |
Health benefits of Bergamot
Bergamot is a rich oil ingredient and has a diverse range of health benefits as an essential oil. It embodies a number of properties which all work together and even differently to give the body and the environment around you that clean germ-free state that you desire. When added to regular black tea, it earns the name ‘Earl Grey.’
Analgesic
As it contains stimulating properties, bergamot releases some hormones that reduce the body’s sensitivity to pain and so the essential oil can be used as a pain relief solution.
Antidepressant
Bergamot is a great antidepressant because of its alpha pinene and limonene traces. These create feelings of a stimulated state to rouse in you a sense of joy and contentment. Some have even associated it with the feel good factor. It is said to be the oil that is all for one’s sense of self as can be seen in how one views their self worth, their needs and ability to stand against that which they fear. It is highly recommended for those moments when stress levels are particularly on the high.
Anti-spasmodic
Due to the relaxant properties of bergamot oils, you get relief from muscle pains, cramps and even convulsions in some cases.
Sedative and Relaxant
Containing a huge amount of flavonoids, bergamot is a good choice for soothing the nervous system. It activates the power of dopamine and serotonin which are hormones that induce that state of restfulness. It therefore works wonders for the stress related conditions and helps ease anxiety.
Antibiotic
Also for use as a disinfectant, the bergamot essential oil stunts and at times even totally stops the growth of bacteria, germs and virus as well as fungi in the system particularly in prone areas such as the kidneys, urinary tract and the skin surface.
Other uses and benefits of bergamot
This essential oil works best when ingested for the internal hormonal benefits, when diffused into the air for relaxation and added to a bath for muscle and pin relief as well as topically for skin infections. Its strong aroma is suitable when you want to eradicate bad smells as all citrus scents are well able to do. This is what lends it the desired quality for use in lotions, perfumes and soaps.
Usage
When pregnant or undergoing medical treatment, always consult your doctor for clearance on using the essential oil. One other major point of note is that bergamot contains bergaptene which is a substance that turns poisonous when exposed to sunlight so never expose your oil bottle to sunlight. And also do not use it on your skin when you go on heavy sun.
