Bergamot oil is an essential oil extracted from the peel of the bergamot orange, a citrus fruit primarily grown in Italy. Known for its fresh, floral scent, it is commonly used in perfumes, cosmetics, and aromatherapy. The oil contains compounds that may have mood-enhancing properties, making it popular for reducing stress and anxiety. In addition to its aromatic uses, bergamot oil is also utilized in culinary applications, particularly in flavoring Earl Grey tea. It has potential health benefits, including antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, although more research is needed to fully understand its therapeutic properties.
