Citrus bergamia is a small tree which blossoms during the winter. The juice

distinctive aroma of the bergamot is most commonly known for its use in Earl
Grey tea. The juice of the fruit has also been used in Calabrian indigenous

The Bergamot oil is composed of various chemical constituents and includes
a-pinene, myrcene, limonene, a-bergaptene, b-bisabolene, linalool, linalyl
acetate, nerol, neryl acetate, geraniol, geraniol acetate and a-terpineol.
Toxicological Properties:
Bergamot oil can cause burns when used on a sensitive skin which is then
exposed to sunlight, as the high content of bergaptene can cause
photo-toxicity. It is advisable to keep out of the sun if this oil is used
on the skin. Even when the ingredient Bergaptene (Furocoumarin) is removed
from the oil and photo toxicity is therefore minimized; it is still
advisable to keep treated skin out of the sun, and to use it in
concentrations of less than 1 %.
Uses & Precaution:
- Bergamot oil can be used in the treatment of depression, stress,
tension, fear, hysteria, infection (all types including skin), anorexia,
psoriasis, eczema and general convalescence.
