      Citrus bergamia is a native from tropical Asia is from the rutaceae family. The peel of the skin of the fruit that is cold pressed.  

It is widely cultivated in Calabria , Italy where we import it from. Bergamot from Calibria has always seemed of the highest fragrance 

and quality to my senses. The  high percentage of the bergapaten component makes this extremely phytotoxic if applied neat onto the

skin and exposed to the sun. I never though that I would offer the bergapaten free essential oil as I usually really  prefer the essential 

oil untampered with, however to my amazement and delight the bergapeten free is fabulous with the bergaptene content causing photosensitivity

has been removed. This version allows the Bergamot to be used in skin and hair care formulations without concern for photo-toxicity after 

exposure to the sun. We are now offering both types that are from Calibria. I still recommend  using this essential oil and all others in a 

carrier base on the skin. Using this neat if for diffusion and atmospheric extension no matter which one is chosen. 

 Like attracts like, this potent aromatic essential oil  brings in the cheerful energy of the Sun. Like the Sun it is powerful and must be 

regarded and employed with respect in its usage. Bergamot is known to assist in regulating and balancing the parasympathetic and sympathetic 

nervous systems, reducing stress and therefore uplifting the Spirit.  Bergamot is  beautifully mood enriching essence that is wonderful for the 

atmosphere as well as useful in personal aromatic blends. Great for hormone regulation and empowering personal willpower. There are numerous

medicinal values that are contained in this citrus peel including these properties: analgesic, antiseptic, anti-viral, anti-depressant, carminative, 

digestive, febrifuge, tonic and vermifuge. The addition of Bergamot is quite useful in blends to ease sore throats, tonsillitis , cold sores, shingles,

urinary tract disorders, balance feminine functions and overall wellness within the minds outlook on situations.      

Creating a personal blend for clarity, protection and optimism would utilize the inherent magic and mythological qualities   held within Bergamot. 

Historically honoring the planet of Saturn, Bergamot guides the way with protective charms, guarding from dangers.

The Egyptian sun God: Ra, Helois: the Titan God of the sun, Apollo: the Olympian God of light, Sulius: the british solar diety, Aurora: the Sun Goddess and many others are honored with this empowering force.  Using Bergamot in an anointing oil will boost protection on all levels.
