Bergamot Oil Uses and Benefits
Like other citrus oils, Bergamot essential oil makes the perfect
addition to any glass of water. If you want to give new life to a
plain drink of water, consider adding a drop of Bergamot oil
along with some cut up pieces of fruit.
While the aromas of many citrus oils are known to be stimulating
or invigorating, Bergamot oil has unique calming capabilities
that can help when tension or stress levels are high. One of the
best ways to glean the calming benefits of Bergamot essential
oil is to diffuse the oil. The next time you feel stress levels or
tension getting high, consider diffusing Bergamot oil in the
classroom, at work, or at home for a calming effect.
The calming benefits of Bergamot essential oil’s aroma are not
only present during aromatic diffusion, but also during topical
application. These calming properties make Bergamot essential
oil a popular choice for massage therapy. Not only does the oil
promote a calm, serene atmosphere, but it is also purifying for
the skin, which is why many massage professionals use Bergamot
oil. If you want to use Bergamot oil for massage at home, use a
carrier oil or dilute with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil for
best results.
