Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot Essential Oil is one of my favourite citrus oils to enjoy in the diffuser and mindfully in topical applications.
The aroma is reminiscent to that of Orange Oil, but it is wonderfully more complex. It almost seems to possess an underlying floral characteristic to it. This is most likely due to its composition of the ester Linalyl Acetate.
Drinkers of Early Gray tea are especially familiar with the flavour and aroma of bergamot as the rind is used to flavour the tea.

Bergamot Essential Oil may be helpful when used mindfully during periods of depression, sadness or grief. Unlike other citrus rhind essential oils that are commercially available, It contains approximately 30% Linalyl Acetate, and ester that can have a calming or soothing effect. Linalyl Acetate is also present in Lavender Essential Oil and Clary Sage Essential Oil and is the component that significantly contributes to the relaxing properties of these oils.
Bergamot Oil is also known for its ability to help combat oily skin and acne. However, it must be used very careful on the skin.
