Bergamot Essential Oil

(Citrus Bergamia)

Bergamot Essential oil is produced by cold pressed / steam distilled from the peal of the nearly ripe fruit. Bergamont Essential Oil is a light greenish-yellow liquid, with a fresh sweet-fruity, slightly spicy-balsamic undertone.

The green color of Bergamont essential oil has an affinity with the heart chakara and is useful when the heart chakara is affected by grief. 


Bergamot essential oil blends well with other essential oils such as lavender, neroli, jasmine, cypress, geranium, lemon, chamomile and juniper.

Bergamot is a citrus fruit whose rind is used for extracting the Bergamot Essential Oil. The scientific name of bergamot is Citrus Aurantium var. or Citrus Bergamia. It is a tropical plant, but thrives in Europe as well. Its powerful aroma makes it a popular component in many perfumes, and it is often used as the all-important “top note”. It is derived through cold compression, opposed to the steam distillation of many other essential oils. One of the most common applications that you may not be aware of is its use in black tea. The inclusion of bergamot essential oil in regular black tea is then given a different name – Earl Grey!

The chemical composition of Bergamot Oil includes Alpha Pinene, Alpha Bergaptnen, Alpha Terpineol, Limonene, Linalool, Linalyl Acetate, Nerol, Neryl Acetate, Beta Bisabolene, Geraniol, Geraniol Acetate and Myrcene.

Bergamot Oil has a very sweet smell and a number of medicinal and industrial uses due to its properties.
