SKIN PATCH TESTINGHistory, Science & Medical Uses
Bergamot Essential Oil has a long history of use in traditional medicine. It is believed to have originated in Italy, with records showing it was used as a medicinal plant since the 15th century. In time, its usage spread throughout Europe and eventually made its way to the United States. The plant itself belongs to the Citrus bergamia family, and it is most commonly grown in Southern Italy and parts of Calabria and Creta.
The active ingredient in bergamot oil is called bergaptene, which is responsible for its therapeutic properties. In recent years, research into the various uses of bergamot oil has increased dramatically as more studies come out about its potential health benefits. Its antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties have been particularly researched, as well as its ability to reduce inflammation. Bergamot oil is also believed to help boost the immune system and improve mental health due to its high content of antioxidants and vitamins A & E.
Bergamot Essential oil is a versatile essential oil with many different medical uses. It is extracted from the fruit of the bergamot orange tree and has a sweet, citrusy scent.
One of the main medical uses of bergamot oil is for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. When applied topically, it can be used to treat skin infections such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, and other fungal issues. It can also be used as an antiseptic for cuts and wounds to prevent infection. Additionally, bergamot oil is known to be an effective insect repellent due to its strong aroma which deters bugs such as mosquitoes and flies.
Another use of bergamot oil is for digestive health. It can help relieve indigestion, bloating, nausea and even reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Bergamot oil also has antispasmodic properties which can help relax intestinal muscles and reduce cramps caused by gastrointestinal conditions such as colic in infants or adults.
As well as this, it may offer relief from certain respiratory ailments such as bronchitis or asthma when inhaled through diffusers or vaporizers. Bergamot oil may even provide relief from anxiety and stress-related symptoms when massaged into the body or inhaled through aromatherapy treatments.
Bergamot Essential oil is derived from the rind of a citrus fruit called bergamot, found mainly in the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. It has a sweet but strong aroma that is often used in perfumes and cosmetic products. In recent years, Bergamot oil has been studied for its medicinal and health benefits.
The main compounds found in Bergamot oil are limonene, linalool, alpha-pinene, geraniol, nerol, and eugenol which have antiseptic properties that can help treat wounds and infections as well as reduce inflammation. Studies have also found that Bergamot oil can help soothe anxiety and stress levels due to its calming nature. It has also been linked to improved digestion which could be beneficial for those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Finally, Bergamot oil may help reduce symptoms of depression thanks to its antidepressant qualities.
