The Benefits of Bergamot include
Easing  Stress from Mind & Body!

The benefits of bergamot include easing stress due to it's calming and centering scent. It has traditionally been used for oily and troubled skin. Bergamot essential oil is what gives Earl Grey Tea its fantastic and unique flavor!

Did you know that in Napoleonic times, it was trendy to use Bergamot as a Cologne and Perfume? 

Yes, and today it is still dominantly used by the perfume industry in its "deterpenized" form.

By the way, when companies "deterpenize" this oil they can take out the furanocoumarins which is what makes the oil photosensitive and creates skin irritation. But depending on the process the company uses, it may also disrupt the quality of the oil, especially when chemicals are used.

Young Living's Bergamot Oil is Furanocoumarin Free (FCF) which is a good thing; however I still have had some reports of skin sensitivity so please do use your best judgement!

Two of my favorite blends made with bergamot are Joy and Gentle Baby. Gentle Baby is great for supporting pregnant moms emotionally.

I designed this section so you could use it as a fun and easy reference guide. It will tell you how to use your oil and what to use it for. It will also provide you with some fun tips, testimonials and oil trivia!

As I receive new tips and testimonials they will be added to the page, so check back often!

Experience the Benefits of Bergamot - Bergamot Essential Oil

What is the Genus And Species? Citrus bergamia

Why is this Information Important? It is always a good idea to know your genus species of your essential oil, so you know what you are getting! Too many companies label essential oils generically which means none of us know what they are putting in the oils they sell to us!

What Part of the Plant is Used? Rind or peel

Most Interesting Historical Reference?

What are the Documented Uses and Benefits of Bergamot? Support healthy skin.

What is the Aromatic Affect on the Mind? Its sweet and fruity aroma is uplifting and relaxing.

What is Nan's Mental (Mindset), Emotional and Spiritual Interpretation of this Oil?

The benefits of bergamot include the spiritual and emotional as well. Bergamot releases the need to be in complete control so that we can flow with life more easily.

When we can relax and trust the universe to handle details of any life situation, we release the fear of the unknown and become clear about our own mission.

This is why Bergamot may be helpful when dealing with dependency or compulsiveness that may be associated with smoking, recreational drugs or alcohol.

Because this oil opens the heart chakra and is uplifting to the mind, which eases stress and tension in mind, body and soul. Place on the heart to release this patterning and embrace relationships (self and others).

What Chakra is Affected? Promotes opening of the solar plexus and heart chakras.

What is the Corresponding Chakra Color? Orange and green.

How Do I Use it?

Use diluted - 50:50 dilution (one part essential oil: four part of vegetable oil). Then,

• Apply several drops (2-4) on location
  
• Apply to chakras
• Wear as perfume or cologne and place on wrists and/or neck
  
• Diffuse

Can this Oil be Used for Animals? Yes. Have your animals smell it directly from the bottle or place a drop or two in your palm, then smell. Or place a drop in your palm and pet head to toe.

May be used for cleaning ears (dogs). Or use for settling animals in the car. :)

Note About Animals: Certain oils can be very toxic to cats. Citrus products and oils in particular that are not of therapeutic grade! Please consult your vet if you are not sure about applying any essential oil to your pet.

I only recommend using Young Living Oils on animals at this time.

What are the Safety Precautions? First, only use therapeutic grade essential oils for best results!

Because it is approved as a Food Additive (FA) by the FDA, food grade bergamot oil is readily available on the market. Please remember, these are not the same oils and are often adulterated (changed).

One of the benefits of bergamot oil is that it is generally regarded as safe (GRAS). However, it is recommended to not use this oil on children less than 5 years of age.

This oil can possibly result in skin irritation (dilution is recommended). Repeated use can result in extreme contact sensitization. Avoid direct sunlight or ultraviolet light for up to 72 hours after use.

Young Living's Bergamot Oil is Furanocoumarin Free (FCF) which is minimizes the skin sensitivity and phototoxicity; however I still have had some reports of skin sensitivity so please do use your best judgement!

If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional prior to use.
