Bergamot has enchanted people for centuries.
It isn't just its complex, citrus scent that draws aromatherapy fans. Its wide range of healing properties is what makes it one of the most popular essential oils.
It is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic industry and common in favourite perfumes as its scent balances other, less rounded notes.
It is referenced in Traditional Chinese Medicine, as being useful in treating digestive issues, while in Ayurveda it is prescribed to help reduce melancholy and to uplift the spirits. In cosmetic applications it is used to treat acne and problematic skin.
The aroma of deDANÚ Bergamot Essential Oil is reminiscent to that of orange, but it is wildly more complex. It seems to possess an underlying floral yet earthy characteristic to it. Drinkers of Early Grey tea are especially familiar with the flavor and aroma of bergamot as the oil is used to flavour the tea.
