Bergamote - Essential Oil
Size: 5 ml
Certified pure
Origin: Italy
This small citrus fruit is very popular, but it is its use as an essential oil that makes it so well known; it is recognized for its aroma in Earl Grey tea and is also a standout in higher-end perfumes.1 It even makes its way into the kitchen to cheerfully flavour certain dishes.
A pilot study2 showed that inhaling bergamot essential oil improved positive feelings in a waiting room at a mental health treatment center. In fact, most clinical studies on the therapeutic applications of bergamot essential oil focus exclusively on the field of aromatherapy, suggesting that its use may be useful for reducing anxiety and stress. 3 A great reason to enjoy its fragrance is lemony, fresh and pleasant that delights the good mood.
