Ogam Bergamot Pure Essential Oil – 5ml

Named after the Italian city, this citrus oil has been used in Italian folk medicine for years and we understand why! Traditionally, Bergamot was used to prevent fever and infections, nowadays, it is used to lift the spirits and to help turn the frown upside down. We like to call it the Mood Changer with its ability to transform the ambience in any room it is placed. It has powerful mood stabilizing affects and is known to lift depression and any symptoms related to it. Mixed with lavender, it can calm emotions in the evenings giving parents and children alike the much sought-after good nights sleep.

This is a great one to help strengthen hair and get that shine we are all after. Simply add a few drops to your existing shampoo and notice the difference to your hair and skin!

Safety considerations Contains furocoumarins which have been found to be phototoxic on human skin, that is they cause sensitization and skin pigmentation when exposed to direct sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight or sun beds for at least 12 hours after applying bergamot to the skin. Extreme care must be taken when using oil in dermal applications.

Why Essential Oils?  Nature knows best.

We all love to be inspired by nature. We believe passionately that our environment is of vital importance, both in its own right and as the source of many of the plants and herbs vital to our wellbeing. Aromatherapy is the practice of using aromatic plant extracts or essential oils, manufactured by steam distillation from the bark, flowers, spices, leaves, stems, roots and resin of abundant plants. Each oil works by aiding natural balance within the body and has its own unique smell and healing properties.

Essential oils can have beneficial physical, emotional and mental effects on the body. Nature, our most vital supply chain partner, offers us endless insights into the pharmacological benefits that Aromatherapy can aid. We continue to grow our ranges to help you in this modern-day, mentally challenging fast-paced life. Our ranges provide enhancement in areas such as stress, sleep, respiratory, immune boost to name but a few, their magnificent aromas are just an added bonus!
