At some point in the past, possibly during the 10th century in Sicily, this citrus varietal was hybridized from the bitter orange and the sweet lime.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: Our organic Bergamot oil beautifully delivers the same complex notes as its two parent plants. On one hand the smooth, fullbodied sweet citrus notes of the bitter orange peel; on the other hand, the fizzy, tangy acidic notes of sweet lime peel. The seamless interplay of these two notes is what creates the true Bergamot signature fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProperties\u003c\/strong\u003e: Balancing, uplifting and gently warming\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChinese medicine function\u003c\/strong\u003e: To regulate the Qi, settle the Heart and harmonize the Shen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance energy\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sweet, lemony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement course\u003c\/strong\u003e: Circulating, harmonizing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarmth effect\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral to warm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone effect\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regulative, relaxant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel tropism\u003c\/strong\u003e: Liver, Heart, Gallbladder, Stomach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFive-Element affinity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wood, Fire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Chinese Medicine\u003c\/strong\u003e: With its moderate sweet, lemony and somewhat warm qualities, Bergamot is an all-purpose oil for spreading Liver Qi and harmonizing the Shen. It is a fundamental regulating and relaxant oil for Qi stagnation arising from dysregulated Liver, Heart, Stomach and Gallbladder function, and it combines easily with almost any other oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChinese Medicine functions adapted from \u003ca href=\"\/about-peter-holmes\/\"\u003ePeter Holmes, L.Ac., M.H.\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/channeling-fragrance-a-clinical-manual-for-using-essential-oils-in-chinese-medicine\/\"\u003eChanneling Fragrance\u003c\/a\u003e.

The oil's chemistry itself is well balanced by relaxant monoterpenols and stimulant monoterpenes. These three compounds contribute to making Bergamot one of the few true regulating and balancing oils at our disposal. It is bivalently able to relax in tense conditions, and stimulate in weak conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplementary blending\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lavender, Grapefruit, Lemon, Coriander leaf, Neroli, Grand fir, May chang, Lemongrass, Juniper, Jasmine absolute, Roman camomile, Coriander seed, Helichryum\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bergamot increases skin photosensitivity: avoid any exposure to sunlight, including sunbed tanning, for at least 20 hours after applying Bergamot oil on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor external use only.
