Bergamot, Citrus Bergamia

DESCRIPTION:

Bergamot is a citrus fruit that resembles a lime in color.  The rind of the fruit is pressed for its essential oil.  Many people use bergamot as a perfume, however, it is well known for its uplifting and antidepressant properties making this a perfect oil to diffuse in your home, or drop behind your ears and on your wrists for a pleasant aroma experienced throughout the day.  This product is available in a 15 mL amber glass Euro bottle.

All Wellness Warrior essential oils are organic.

COMMON USES:

Bergamot is commonly used as a perfume and blends well with other oils.  Bergamot is considered a "top note" for blending purposes.  Bergamot essential oil improves blood circulation, decreases depression and sadness, and stimulates hormonal secretions, helping to maintain proper metabolic rates.  Bergamot aids in digestion, prevents infections, reduces pain, relieves spasms, speeds wound healing, is relaxing, used as a deodorant, and helps to reduce fevers.  An uncommon, but effective property of bergamot is it's ability to kill worms, therefore making bergamot an oil to consider if parasites are an issue.  New research shows bergamot may have respiratory and digestive benefits not previously studied.  Some of the research shows bergamot as an effective essential oil eliminating the formation of gallstones and is protective against bronchitis, colic, diphtheria, and halitosis.  This is an excellent oil to consider for international travel.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare)

DESCRIPTION:

Oregano is highly anti-microbial, specifically antibacterial.  Used as a disinfectant for many common conditions, oregano is a main go-to oil in many households.  Wellness Warrior recommends this product to be a must-have in your home pharmacy.  This product is available in a 15 mL amber glass Euro bottle.

COMMON USES:

Because of its strong antibacterial properties, oregano is often used directly on the area of concern.  This oil is a "hot" oil, meaning that it can easily injure skin tissue if applied topically without a carrier oil, which dilutes the oil to a safe concentration for topical use.  Wellness Warrior recommends a dilution of no greater than 1% for this oil.  In extreme cases, like fungal infections where the area of concern is in a moist area, special considerations may apply and once small areas of skin are tested for reaction, it may be necessary to apply this oil without a carrier oil, but please use caution.  Oregano is also a common oil to be used in cooking.  Simply dip a toothpick in the bottle, then swirl into your dish.  Best to use after food is cooked and just prior to consumption.
