STEP 12 - BERGAMOT ESSENTIAL OIL

broken image

BERGAMOT is the most delicate of the citrus plants, requiring special climate and soil in order to thrive. Italians have used BERGAMOT for years to reduce feelings of stress and to soothe and rejuvenate skin.

In Greece, the unripe fruits are used as sweetmeats, eaten by the spoonful as a dessert or with coffee.

BERGAMOT is unique among citrus oils due to its ability to be both uplifting and calming, making it ideal to help with anxious and sad feelings. It is also purifying and cleansing for the skin while having a calming effect.

USES

• Diffuse in the classroom, at work, or at home when stress levels or tension is high.

• Apply to the skin while showering and inhale deeply to experience its calming aroma while enjoying its purifying skin benefits.

• Change regular tea to Earl Grey with the addition of Bergamot.

• Apply to the feet before bedtime or use with Fractionated Coconut Oil for a calming and relaxing massage.

• Add one to two drops to your DIY skin care cleanser.

• Diffuse with Lavender, Vetiver & Cedarwood to promote a restful sleep.

This citrus oil blends well with Cypress, Eucalyptus, Geranium, Lavender, Lemon, and Ylang Ylang.

Avoid direct sunlight for up to 12-36 hours after topical use.
