Bergamot oil is known for its mood-lifting properties. It’s often used to reduce anxiety and stress, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. Its fresh, citrusy scent can be invigorating and uplifting.

2.Skin Care:

 Bergamot oil has antiseptic and antibacterial properties, which makes it beneficial for acne-prone skin.

Always dilute it with a carrier oil before applying it topically, and avoid sun exposure on the applied areas.

3.Digestive Health:

 It can help with digestion and alleviate symptoms such as indigestion or bloating. Use it in moderation, usually in a diluted form or as part of a blend.

4.Perfume and Fragrance:

Due to its pleasant aroma, bergamot oil is a popular ingredient in perfumes and colognes. It adds a fresh, citrusy note to fragrance blends.

5. Mood Enhancement:

 It is known to have antidepressant properties, making it useful for managing symptoms of depression or low mood.

How to Use Bergamot Oil:

Diffusion:

Add a few drops to a diffuser to enjoy its uplifting effects in your space.

Topical Application:

 Dilute with a carrier oil (like jojoba, coconut, or almond oil) before applying it to the skin. This can help with skin issues or as part of a massage.

Inhalation:

 Inhale directly from the bottle or add a drop to a handkerchief or cotton ball for a quick mood boost.

Safety Notes:

• Photosensitivity:- Bergamot oil can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure or UV light after applying it to your skin.
• Dilution: Always dilute essential oils before applying them to the skin to avoid irritation.
• Pregnancy and Health Conditions:** Consult with a healthcare provider if you’re pregnant, nursing, or have any health conditions before using bergamot oil.

FCR (Food Chemical Codex Grade):

While it’s less common for essential oils, if you have bergamot oil labeled as FCR, it suggests that it meets high purity standards suitable for food use, though this is not always necessary for essential oil applications and is more relevant for culinary use.
