Bergamot is a type of citrus fruit native to Italy, and its oil is processed for use in foods, beauty products, and essential oils. Bergamot oil has a spicy taste and a soothing scent, and it is a common cosmetic ingredient and a flavor added to Earl Gray tea. Bergamot oil has several active chemicals and is commonly used as aromatherapy. When applied to the skin, the chemicals in bergamot oil can make the skin sensitive to sunlight. Bergamot is used for high levels of cholesterol or other fats in the blood, anxiety, mental alertness, joint pain, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these other uses.
Here are some positive and negative aspects of bergamot:
