The Bergamot tree is a small, thorny evergreen, primarily cultivated in Southern Italy. It produces a small, pear-shaped citrus fruit that is too bitter to eat but possesses an extraordinary oil. The scent is complex: fresh, citrusy, and bright, but with a sophisticated floral and spicy undertone. It is famously used to flavor Earl Grey tea and serves as a classic top note in fine perfumery.

Respiratory: Halitosis (bad breath), mouth infections, and sore throats.
Digestive: Anorexia, flatulence, and indigestion. It is often used to stimulate appetite or settle a nervous stomach.
Genito-Urinary: Cystitis, pruritus, and thrush. It is considered one of the most effective oils for urinary tract support.
Nervous System: Anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions. It is unique because it is simultaneously uplifting and calming.
Bergamot is the "Oil of Self-Acceptance." It helps to release feelings of self-judgment, low self-esteem, and despair. By clearing stagnant energy and emotional blocks, it encourages a more optimistic and radiant outlook on life, making it a primary choice for treating "the blues" or seasonal affective disorder.
