Bergamot for Dispelling Negativity!

Citrus bergamia

Bergamot for Dispelling Negativity - antidepressant, anti-anxiety, stress relieving!

When choosing a card for my Essential Oil Reflection today, Bergamot was the card that popped out.

Bergamot's uplifting, calming and anti-depressant properties are great for dispelling negativity. A 'happy' oil that can lift most people's mood. I often turn to this sweet florally citrus when I am blending for anxiety, depression and any stress-related disorders. Great in diffusers, misters, inhalers. NOTE: Only use Bergamot FCF grade should be used topically on the skin as the regular Bergamot is very phototoxic when applied to skin.

Bergamot also has very good anti-fungal, antiseptic, antiviral and bactericidal properties. I add it to blends for colds and flu, as well as infections like cystitis. It's aroma can certainly brighten a blend.

Bergamot can be helpful in cases of loss of appetite. I have used it both on its own and in a blend to help with this. I generally add it to a personal inhaler that can be used as needed.

Bergamot helps to bring in positive energy, as well as instilling feelings of joy and calm.

I have found that Bergamot can bring relief to people who are confined to their beds, and those who have to spend long periods of time in a hospital or undergo a series of painful treatments. One can also add a drop or two of bergamot on a patient's clothing or wound dressing to help alleviate unpleasant odors. This helps bring relief to both the patient and those around.
