Oil of the Week: Bergamot

This weeks card and energy focus on compassion made me think of Bergamot!

Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) essential oil comes from the cold pressing of the fruit peels. The fruit trees are primarily from the Mediterranean and Italy.

Physically, bergamot EO can support our skin, respiratory system, and the GI system.

Emotionally, bergamot is balancing of our emotions, calming while also providing uplifting feelings associated with anger and sadness. It can help us focus and is great for fears and grief.

Energetically, bergamot helps bring about feelings of compassion for ourselves and others! It creates feelings as well of harmony, joy, strength, and encourages the opening of the heart chakra.

One of my favorites is to match bergamot with patchouli or cedarwood!

Happy oiling friends!
