Description: Bergamot oil is named after the Italian city of Bergamo in Lombardy, where the first oil was sold. The oil has been used in Italian folk medicine for many years.

Aromatherapy: Bergamot oil is commonly used in aromatherapy due to its uplifting and calming scent. Inhaling its aroma can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and mild depression, promoting a sense of relaxation and well-being.

Air freshener: The fresh, citrusy scent of bergamot oil makes it an excellent natural air freshener. It can help mask unpleasant odours and create a more inviting atmosphere in your living or workspace.

Skincare: Bergamot oil is often used as an ingredient in perfumes, soaps, lotions, and other personal care products due to its delightful fragrance. It can also enhance the sensory experience of using these products.

Mood enhancement: The aroma of bergamot oil is known to have mood-enhancing effects. It can help uplift your spirits and improve your overall mood, making it a great addition to your daily routine.

Reducing fatigue: Inhaling the aroma of bergamot oil may help reduce feelings of fatigue and increase alertness. This can be particularly useful during midday slumps or when you need a mental pick-me-up.

Aiding concentration: The stimulating scent of bergamot oil might help improve focus, concentration, and mental clarity. Diffusing the oil in your workspace could potentially enhance your productivity.

Room deodorizer: Bergamot oil's pleasant scent can help neutralize odors in various spaces, making it a natural alternative to chemical-based room deodorizers.

Cleaning products: The antiseptic properties of bergamot oil, along with its pleasant scent, make it a popular choice for creating DIY natural cleaning products. It can add a refreshing aroma to your cleaning routine.

Caution: Do not apply to the skin before going out into the sun as this may increase the susceptibility of sunburn.

Safety data: Avoid during pregnancy; skin irritant (dilute before using externally); may trigger epileptic seizures in susceptible individuals.
