Bergamot Pure Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil with a fresh, sweet, citrusy aroma that is widely used in diffuser blends, massage oils, bath products, and natural fragrance work. It is valued for its bright, uplifting scent and is often chosen for blends intended to create a more relaxed, cheerful atmosphere. This version is steam distilled from the fruit, which helps distinguish it from expressed bergamot oils. It is a concentrated cosmetic ingredient and should always be used in small amounts and properly diluted.
♡ Why we love it: Bergamot is one of those beautifully versatile oils that can instantly brighten a blend. We love how easily it pairs with florals, herbs, and other citrus notes, making it a lovely choice for both everyday aromatherapy and more refined body care blends.

Amazing service, good products.
After a few years of suffering from chronic sinus infections somebody suggested I use Bergamot Essential oil, but I have to inhale it through my nose. I took a Vicks Eucalyptus Inhaler stick and added 5 drops of Bergamot to it. I started sniffing it twice a day. By the 2nd week I started to feel a difference. No more polyp movements in my nasal cavities and my sinus headaches cleared up. I have been without sinus problems for almost a year now. I don't know whether it is the combination of Bergamot and Eucalyptus that did the trick, so I keep on topping up my Vicks inhaler stick with both oils. It might work for you, it might not. If it does not work, experiment with other oils until you find a mix that works! Be careful not to inhale to deeply in the beginning, it will end up in a lot of sneezing!
Wow, this is so interesting, thanks for sharing Verona! So glad it worked for you.
