Some information about bergamot

The essential oil has a more or less dark yellow-green colour and a characteristic fresh and fruity aroma.

As essential oils are not soluble in water, they must be mixed with an emulsifier before being poured into the bath. For example, they can be mixed with a liquid soap or a neutral shampoo (1 tablespoon). As a general rule, it is recommended not to exceed 10 drops per bath and not to stay in the bath for more than 20 minutes. Bergamot is effective as a skin care product and for relaxation before going to bed. Maximum 5 drops, previously diluted, added to the bath water.

To promote good digestion : especially in case of slow digestion or tension, mix 1 to 3 drops in a neutral vegetable oil (in localized massage on the stomach).
100% pure and natural oil
An essential oil is made up of chemically defined molecules (about 10,000 listed) that have been secreted by special plant cells. It can consist of from one to several hundred molecules, which helps explain why some essential oils have many properties but different therapeutic effectiveness. To guarantee the properties necessary for effective aromatherapy, it is important that an essential oil is 100% pure and natural (not cut, not deterpenated, not mixed with alcohol or vegetable oils) and preferably organic. This is the case for the essential oils we sell. They are sold in tinted bottles with a dropper cap.
