As you know, we LOVE essential oils, and I love trying different brands, to see which ones I like best. 

And NO, I am not tied to one set brand. What I have found is that some brands may have 2 products I like better, than another brand. Yet another brand may outdo that brand on different oil.  I know some of you prefer to stick to one brand and distributor, but I have found a varied lineup works best for us.

This is one of those new finds for me!

Simply Earth Bergamot Essential Oil  is 100% pure, non-toxic, has no additives and is unfiltered and undiluted with no fillers. It is packaged in the USA in 15  ml amber glass bottles, which is 50% more than standard 10 ml bottles, from other popular essential oil companies! You also get a Euro dropper cap included with each oil purchased from Simply Earth!.

Bergamot Oil is made from the cold-pressed rind of nearly ripe bergamot fruit, botanical name of Citrus bergamia. The bergamot orange tree is in fact the result of the cross-breeding of the lemon tree and the orange tree, and early reports of its use are found back in the 1700's in Italy, where it's name came from The oil has a citrus aroma, yet also has a spicy floral undercurrent to it. You may have heard of it before, as it is a common ingredient in perfume! 

Bergamot essential oil can be:

added to bath water directly, for a relaxing bath to reduce reduce stress

be used in vaporizers to relieve congestion and respiratory problems-it loosens up phlegm and mucus in the respiratory tracts, helping the body to eliminate it thru sneezing and productive coughs, and helping to kill the germs the caused the cold!

inhaled for a burst of energy

used straight on your skin to soothe insect bites (really works on mosquito bites we found- the little suckers will NOT die down here!), but some people might be sensitive to it

applied with chamomile and fennel essential oils on your abdominal area to alleviate gas and bloating. 

Can be mixed with lavender essential oil, salt, and filtered water, to use as a genital wash to prevent UTI recurrence.

used as an assistant to your body to control insulin, and assist with weight loss

We discovered a perfect blend using the Simply Earth Bergomot Essential Oil along with Peppermint, Lavender and Lemon, for a VERY calming, vaporizer blend, that also has the benefit of helping your body keep your sinuses clear, allowing for a more restful sleep! 

We mix equal amounts of Peppermint, Lavender and Bergamot and half as much Lemon. The amount of drops would be based on your vaporizer. For Miss Grace's, we use a  6/1 combo, as she isn't as fond of lemon. For mine, I can go 8/2. It produces a LOVELY smell that stays in the room for over 24 hours- it makes you want to just go in the room and inhale to relieve any stress! We also used the same formula (tripled amount of drops) with fractured cocount oil, for a mind clearing roller ball mix for Miss Grace for dance class and pre- competitions.She is totally hooked on it, like I am!

Bergamot Oil blends well with other essential oils like Black Pepper, Clary Sage, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Mandarin, Nutmeg, Orange, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Vetiver and Ylang-ylang. Note: due to it being citrus derived, and its ability to absorb light, it is not recommend to be out in direct sun while using it, as it can cause your body to be very sensitive to sunlight, resulting in sunburns! This actually applies to any citrus derived essential oil!
