Product description - Bergamot's scientific name is Citrus bergamia. Bergamot essential oil is light yellow-green. It is the most delicate of citrus plants, requiring special soil and climate to thrive. It has the ability to lift moods or give an energy boost and relieve stress and anxiety. Bergamot oil boasts powerful antibacterial, analgesic, antiseptic, antispasmodic and sedative effects. The bergamot tree can grow up to four meters tall, with star-shaped flowers and smooth leaves, bearing citrus fruits that resemble a cross between an orange and grapefruit, but in pear shape. The fruit ripens from green to yellow. The name Bergamot is taken from the city of Bergamo in Lombardy where the oil was first sold.
