Product Description
Customer Reviews

This valuable, therapeutic essential oil is used primarily for relaxation (its exquisite scent has unisex appeal and is popular with both men and women). Bergamot is known as "Natures Prozac" as it is extremely helpful for work-related stress, over-emotional feelings, depression, tension and for calming physical and mental agitation. Bergamot can also be used when overwork or pressure affects the stomach and digestion. Bergamot essential oil is a common ingredient in many modern perfumes and adds a wonderful therapeutic quality and fragrance to any massage or bath blend.

Bergamot oil is made from the fruit of a small tree native to Morocco and parts of Asia. The name Bergamot however comes from a small town in Italy called Bergamo where the oil was first sold. Bergamot belongs to the same family as the orange tree and one of its more familiar uses is as the flavouring for Earl Grey tea.
