Oil of the week: Bergamot
To match the energy of the week, Spirit Fox, I felt it was important to help bring out our inner strength, balance, and confidence with Bergamot essential oil.
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) comes from the cold expression of the fruit peel of the Bergamot citrus tree native to Italy and the Ivory Coast.
Physically, bergamot aids in GI upset, skin ailments, and respiratory ailments. Think bloat, gas, indigestion, acne, wounds, varicose veins, colds, and sore throat to name just a few!
Emotionally, bergamot can balance, regulate, and calm erratic or stressful emotions related to tension, grief, anger, and fear. It can also help us feel more assertive in our interactions as well as provide an uplifting effect.
Energetically, bergamot as I mentioned above, enables strength, balance, happiness, and joy when applied topically or diffused. It opens the heart chakra encouraging feelings of love and compassion.
