Bergamot is a citrus fruit and we extract the oil from the
rind through the cold press process. This plants origin can be traced back to
Italy and primarily grown around the Mediterranean area. A kind of lemon orange
hybrid this fruit is finds it way in to many different dishes and drinks as
well as a healers kit.
Some of the most popular uses of Bergamot are:
Colic, infection, PMS, insect repellant and stress.
It is hard for me to track down the origins of this hybrid
though many believe it to come from the Italian town Bergamo. The people of
Italy take their Bergamot very seriously. The Italian government introduced
tight controls, including testing and certificates of purity.
Bergamot oil can be used aromatically, orally or topically.
Remember though that when applying citrus oil directly to the skin to avoid
direct exposure to sunlight for 72 hours. You can apply it neat to fight
infections, ring worm, and inflammation. Historically the Italians would drink
it to expel intestinal worms and fight malaria. It is also useful when fighting
fevers.
When it comes to Bergamot and emotions think stress relief.
This is definitely a mood enhancer and uplifting sent that that will help keep
your home smelling good and your family felling happy. Almost every source I
come across though calls for Bergamot for stress relief. So keep this oil close
for a clean, happy, and stress free home.
Be well! -Kayla
