Description: Bergamot has a woodsy, sweet, citrus aroma that is so wonderful diffused for helping to lift our moods, decrease stress, and support the respiratory system. It is used in Earl Gray tea to give it that distinctive "ahhhh" factor and has been studied for it's properties to lower cortisol (stress hormone) and to lower the body's sympathetic nervous response (fight/flight/freeze). It is such a wonderfully calming oil!.
When it comes to skincare, bergamot helps combat oil production, acne & psoriasis. Bergamot is also a huge component for many perfumes due to its ability to balance the mix of aromas and harmonize all of the essences. Some of our favorite pairings are:
Bergamot + White Angelica
Bergamot + Sacred Frankincense
Bergamot + Stress Away
Bergamot + Vetiver
Home: Morocco, Italy
Ways to use:
- Diffuse with lavender, frankincense and myrrh for an incredibly grounding aroma that helps to release our worries, especially when paired with prayer or meditation.

- Make a roller from the ideas above and apply it frequently throughout the day. Apply over the heart, wrists, neck, chest as desired.
