Escentia Bergamot Pure Essential Oil is commonly used in aromatherapy to elevate moods and alleviate stress. Bergamot oil is said to have properties similar to grapefruit essential oil in that it is antiseptic, antispasmodic, and analgesic (pain-relieving).

Bergamot oil has a light citrus scent with floral notes.

Bergamot pure essential oil has been said to assist in reducing inflammation, lowering cholesterol levels, and increasing one’s mood. Known to build confidence and enhance one’s mood, bergamot oil is said to be one of the best essential oils for depression and it helps to alleviate stress and anxiety. Bergamot has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to help with the flow of vital energy so the digestive system can work properly. It has also been used to prevent the growth of bacteria, relieve muscle pain and boost the health of one’s skin.
