Bergamot Mint Oil
Fresh, softly minty, and slightly citrusy, Bergamot Mint essential oil can be used aromatically and topically. Perfect for diffusing after a hard day or at bedtime, it can also be added to a comforting and soothing after-workout massage.
Description
This essential oil comes from a flowering, perennial herb with violet flowers and heart-shaped leaves. A sun loving plant, sometimes called orange mint, Bergamot Mint is a member of the Lamiaceae or mint family. Similar to Lavender, Bergamot Mint’s major constituents linalool and linalyl acetate have shown in studies to help manage occasional restlessness. Perfect for diffusing after a hard day or at bedtime, it can also be added to Fractionated Coconut Oil for a comforting and soothing after-workout massage. Bergamot Mint’s lavender like, minty aroma complements a warm bath and makes it more relaxing. This versatile oil clears the air of unpleasant odors and can even be used as an effective surface cleaner. Because Bergamot Mint is a mint oil, not a citrus oil, it does not cause photosensitivity.
