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.

PROPERTIES:

Analgesic, antibiotic, antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antianxiety, cicatrizant (promotes tissue healing through scar formation), deodorant, digestive, disinfectant, febrifuge, sedative, tonic, vermifuge (destroys parasites), vulnerary,

CAUTION:

Bergamot essential oil contains a constituent called bergaptene.  It is important to note, that some people respond to this constituent with more sensitivity than others, so the general rule is to avoid direct sunlight exposure for up to 12 hours after bergamot is applied to your skin topically.  There is some research showing if taking bergamot internally, direct exposure to the sun within 12 hours could cause phytotoxicity and a "sunburn" like effect on the skin.

HOW TO USE:

Aromatic – Add 3-4 drops of oil to distilled water and diffuse; inhale directly by cupping your hands around an open bottle and breath in deeply through your nose.  Eucalyptus' expectorant properties loosen coughs.  Its antiseptic properties are used to reduce fever and can be vaporized in water to achieve this result.

Topical (!) – Directly apply 1-3 drops of oil to the area of concern or to reflex points (dilute using a carrier oil).  Eucalyptus oil should not be taken by mouth or applied to the skin in its full strength.  Diluted eucalyptus essential oil can be applied directly to the skin for pain and swelling of respiratory tract mucous membranes (rub on chest), genital herpes, joint pain and nasal stuffiness.  Eucalyptus is used as an insect repellent - some research shows that applying a specific spray containing a combination of eucalyptus and lemon extract to the skin lowers the number of tick bites by about 30% in people living in tick-infested areas

Internal (!) – Eucalyptol, a chemical that is removed from eucalyptus oil and used as medicine, is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth for up to 12 weeks, however, it is strongly suggested to consult a qualified healthcare provider educated in the internal use of essential oils prior to using this oil internally.  Eucalyptus oil is LIKELY UNSAFE when it is taken by mouth without first being diluted.  Taking 3.5 mL of undiluted oil can be fatal. Signs of eucalyptus poisoning might include stomach pain and burning, dizziness, muscle weakness, small eye pupils, feelings of suffocation, and some others. Eucalyptus oil can also cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea

Oral (!) – In dentistry, eucalyptus essential oil is included in products used as sealers and solvents for root canal fillings.  Apply with a cotton applicator.

Children (!) – Likely safe for children over the age of 12 with proper dilution.  Do not administer to infants or children under the age of 12 without the professional consultation of a trusted healthcare practitioner.  See notes below for more information on use with children and consider purchasing our Eucalyptus radiata which is the best option for eucalyptus and children.

CAUTION:

For people with sensitive skin, Wellness Warrior suggests diluting essential oils with a vegetable-based carrier oil, such as raw coconut or jojoba oil.

Skin reactions: Eucalyptus oil is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when applied directly to the skin without first being diluted. 

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Eucalyptus HERB is LIKELY SAFE for pregnant and breastfeeding women when consumed in food amounts. But don’t use eucalyptus essential oil while pregnant or breastfeeding as there is not enough information known about safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Children: Eucalyptus essential oil is LIKELY UNSAFE for children. It should not be taken by mouth or applied to the skin. Not much is known about the safety of using eucalyptus leaves in children.  It’s best to avoid using the HERB (leaves) in amounts larger than food amounts.

Diabetes: Early research suggests eucalyptus leaf might lower blood sugar in diabetic patients and in patients taking medications that already lower their blood sugar, the addition of eucalyptus could cause a drop in sugar that requires emergency care.  Therefore, blood sugar levels should be monitored closely if taking eucalyptus, even topically.  If blood sugar levels fall while using eucalyptus essential oil, please consult with your healthcare provider to properly adjust your medication levels

Surgery: Since eucalyptus might affect blood sugar levels, there is concern that it might make blood sugar control difficult during and after surgery. Stop using eucalyptus at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery

Interactions:  

Research / Studies:

Some research shows that taking eucalyptol, a chemical found in eucalyptus oil, and extracts of pine and lime by mouth for at least 2 weeks improves symptoms and reduces flare-ups in people with bronchitis.
