aromáma Bergamot 100% pure essential oil 5ml
Multi-layered, citrusy, refreshing bergamot scent with a slight floral note is fragrance that everyone loves. For this reason, bergamot essential oil is widely used in cosmetics and perfumery. The famous Earl Grey tea is flavoured with this exact amazing oil. It is believed that Christopher Columbus brought the bergamot fruit from the Canary Islands. Later it spread throughout Spain and Italy. The name itself is derived from the name of the city Bergamo in Italy, where bergamot essential oil was extracted for the first time. Bergamot oil is one of the few aromatherapy products with a unique balancing effect on our body and soul. It is quite a rare property, as most essential oils are either soothing or toning, while essential oils such as bergamot, ylang ylang and mandarin harmonise and give balance, therefore these oils are especially suitable for modern, busy, always in a rush and anxious people. Bergamot is also suitable for young children, which suffer with poor sleep, are hyperactive or have difficulty concentrating.
Bergamot essential oil helps to get rid of tension, anxiety, manages stress, and harmonizes when we have too much going on. It is believed that bergamot essential oil helps to reduce activity in sympathetic nervous system, so it makes the body relax and release tension. In aromatherapy, bergamot oil is considered a natural antidepressant. We especially recommend this oil for postpartum women when it comes to harmony and balance. In addition, it is considered as an aphrodisiac (to cause an increase of sexual desire, passion) – the seductive, appetizing scent helps to relax and switch our body and mind to a higher mode.
Bergamot essential oil is especially compatible with lavender, rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, mandarin, orange, rosemary, frankincense essential oils.
Attention! Bergamot essential oil can irritate the skin and increase sensitivity to UV radiation. Never apply pure bergamot essential oil on skin or mucosa.
Before applying on the skin, dilute with carrier oil, rich cream or lotion. Bergamot essential oil is not recommended to use in a bath. It is safe to use in a diffuser around babies from 6 months old. It is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

- Prepare an amazing massage blend (adults only!). To 50ml of carrier oil (such as sweet almond) add around 10 drops (not more than that) of bergamot essential oil.
- Bergamot essential oil has a beneficial effect on the digestive system. Massage the blend (50ml of carrier oil (such as sweet almond) plus 10 drops of bergamot essential oil) to your abdominal area if you have trapped gas, feel bloated or have a stomach bug.

- Enrich your favorite cosmetics with bergamot essential oil. Add a drop of essential oil to your palm alongside your chosen cosmetics at the time of use. Do not add essential oils directly to a container; this will change the consistency of a product over time.
- Make a wonderfully scented handmade soap. Add 20 drops of pure undiluted bergamot essential oil to 200ml of unscented liquid soap; shake the bottle well to evenly distribute essential oil with the soap base.
- To deodorize body and regulate the secretion of sweat and sebaceous glands, add a few drops of bergamot essential oil to a small amount of shower gel to your palm (at the time of showering) or a facial cleanser. This remedy is especially suitable for oily, inflamed, acne-prone skin.
- Treat yourself with a wonderful aroma. Add few drops of bergamot essential oil to an unscented body lotion, or oil. Please note – we recommend adding essential oils to a small amount of lotion/oil only at the time of using. If you will add fragrant drops to the entire container, essential oils will change the consistency of a product over time.
- Give your home extra freshness and cleanliness. Add 6 to 10 drops of pure bergamot essential oil to a bucket of water, dip the cloth or mop into the bucket and clean your furniture surfaces and floors. Perfect in a home with babies, who just started to crawl around.
- Aromatherapy literature states that a blend of bergamot and chamomile essential oils is a great help with urinary tract infection (UTI). It is recommended to blend 30ml of carrier oil with 5 drops of chamomile and 7 drops of bergamot essential oils, apply the mixture on your lower abdominal area several times a day. The same blend can be poured into a basin or sedentary bath if you have UTI, or bladder inflammation. Sit in such kind of bath around 7 to 10 minutes.
Attention! Bergamot essential oil naturally contains furocoumarins – bergapten and bergamottin, which cause a strong skin sensitivity to UV radiation. It is not recommended to stay in the sun for at least 12 hours after any skin treatment with bergamot essential oil (unless treated areas of skin are covered). If you really like bergamot essential oil and want to use it on your skin, search for bergamot oil free from bergapten – such essential oil will not irritate the skin.
