Bergamot oil is a product obtained from the fruit of the bergamot tree. Its fragrance refreshes and brightens the mind, as well as stimulates to work. The oil is an excellent antiseptic. It has a toning and deodorising effect. It is used in the treatment of various infections. It significantly reduces the activity of, among others, the herpes virus. It also has properties alleviating nervous tension, emotions and stress, thanks to which it can be helpful in treating depressive states. It also works well in the care of skin affected by acne or hyperpigmentation.
Bergamot essential oil is used in medicine for its antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, expectorant and diuretic effects. Inhalations with this oil are effective in treating lung and upper respiratory tract infections. Due to its high content of the antiseptic compound, linalool, people suffering from seborrhea, acne and other skin problems recommend bergamot oil for the face. In addition, bergamot oil used as a gargle helps fight throat infections and bad breath.
It is great for the digestive system, stimulating digestion and supporting stomach function. Bergamot oil is a safe and natural essential oil, which is great for supporting health and inducing a sense of well-being. However, it is important to note that bergamot oil when used on the skin causes it to be hypersensitive to sunburn. For this reason, avoid intense exposure to the sun when using this product.
Bergamot oil has a huge range of medicinal uses and helps fight excessive sweating, haemorrhoids, herpes and bacterial and fungal infections. It is also widely used in cosmetics as it works wonderfully on skin and hair, and regular use will give them vitality and a natural glow. It is recommended for acne-prone skin as it gently cleanses inflammation and prevents the spread of pimples. Use small amounts of bergamot oil by adding a few drops to a carrier oil or cream. You can also add a little oil to your shampoo, which will help fight excessive oiliness and give your hair a beautiful scent. Use bergamot oil externally as it is not suitable for consumption. It can be used in massages, inhalations, compresses and baths - but never before direct sun exposure!
