What Makes Bergamot Essential Oil So Effective?
The brilliance of Bergamot lies in its chemistry. Rich in natural compounds such as linalyl acetate, limonene, and linalool, this citrus oil works on both the body and mind β helping to stabilise emotions, reduce cortisol levels, and uplift the mood. Its aroma gently stimulates the nervous system, easing anxious thoughts while fostering a sense of calm alertness.
Beyond its emotional benefits, Bergamotβs antimicrobial and antioxidant properties also make it a valuable addition to skincare and air purification routines. It supports clearer skin, helps neutralise odours, and refreshes indoor spaces with its light, cheerful scent.
A 2015 Italian study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology found that participants who inhaled Bergamot essential oil for just 15 minutes experienced significant reductions in anxiety and fatigue, alongside improved positive feelings and heart rate balance. This reinforces what aromatherapy practitioners have long known β that Bergamot isnβt just uplifting in theory; itβs scientifically shown to calm and restore in real life.
