Bergamot oil is a favourite in aromatherapy and is used in vaporisers, massages, and blended into bath water.
The name Bergamot is derived from the city Bergamo in Lombardy, Italy, where the oil was first sold. It has been grown since the 16th century in the Mediterranean countries like Italy and Greece. It’s been used in the perfume and food industries (Earl Grey tea) for a long time.
While essential oil has begun to be extracted more recently, the fruit, and its essence and flavour have been used in traditional medicine for hundred of years.
Oregano should be diluted with a base/carrier oil when applied to the skin.
