Bergamot (Fruit Oil)

May 02, 2006

 

Bergamot   (Fruit Oil)
Citrus Bergamia

Plant profile: Bergamot is a small, bitter orange grown in the Lombardy region of Italy near the town of Bergamo. The fruit has long been used in the traditional medicine of the area as a remedy for fevers and low immunity. The essential oil from the peel is best known as the flavoring of Earl Gray tea, giving the drink a fresh, citrusy flavor.

Safety Information: Bergamot is strongly phototoxic; avoid exposing the skin to strong sunlight or sunbeds for at least twelve hours after application. FCF (furano-coumarin free) bergamot oil is available with the phototoxic constituent removed, but the aroma of the oil is much reduced.

Fragrance profile: Bergamot is fresh, citrusy, bright, and sweet, developing softer, rounder, and warmer tones later.

Main Uses: Bergamot boosts immunity, helps to combat colds, influenza, and respiratory complaints; eases the symptoms of the vaginal thrush; soothes anxiety, depression, helps to lift low spirits, and combat stress
