Bergamot is named after the Italian city of Bergamo in Lombardy, where the oil was first sold. The oil has been used in Italian folk medicine for many years, primarily for fever (including Malaria) and worms. Recent research in Italy has shown that Bergamot Oil has a wide spectrum of applications, being particularly useful for mouth, skin, respiratory and urinary tract infections.

As you might expect, it has a delightfully fresh, 'citrussy' aroma, which is almost universally liked.

Bergamot and Lavender combined are the classic anti-stress and uplifting combination.
