 PRECAUTION - HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFELY

In aromatherapy and perfumery, Bergamot essential oil (Citrus bergamia) is cherished for its delightful citrusy aroma and versatile therapeutic properties. Here are some common uses of Bergamot essential oil in aromatherapy and perfumery:

Aromatherapy:

Stress relief and relaxation: Bergamot's uplifting and calming scent can help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation. Use it in a diffuser or add a few drops to a warm bath for a soothing experience.

Mood enhancer: The pleasant fragrance of Bergamot can help uplift your mood, alleviate depression, and promote emotional well-being. Diffuse it in your living space or apply a diluted blend to your wrists and temples.

Sleep support: Bergamot has natural sedative properties that can help improve sleep quality. Diffuse it before bedtime or create a pillow spray to promote restful sleep.

Skin health: Bergamot oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can benefit various skin issues such as acne, eczema, or minor wounds. Dilute it with a carrier oil and apply it topically to affected areas.

Pain relief: The analgesic properties of Bergamot can help alleviate muscle and joint pain. Mix it with a carrier oil and massage it into the affected areas for relief.

Digestive support: Bergamot oil can help soothe digestive discomfort and stimulate the digestive system. Dilute it with a carrier oil and massage it onto the abdomen to ease discomfort.

Perfumery:

Top note: Bergamot's bright and citrusy aroma makes it a popular top note in many perfumes and colognes. It adds freshness and energy to a fragrance blend.

Blending: Bergamot oil is a versatile blending ingredient that complements various other essential oils, such as lavender, rosemary, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. Its harmonizing properties make it a favorite in creating balanced and captivating scents.

Remember to always dilute Bergamot essential oil with a carrier oil or use it in a diffuser, as applying undiluted essential oils to the skin may cause irritation. Additionally, Bergamot is phototoxic, so avoid sun exposure after applying it to your skin. Choose Bergapten-free Bergamot oil (BF or FCF) if you plan to use it topically.
