Bergamot essential oil is the cold-pressed oil produced in the peel of a nearly ripe citrus fruit native to tropical Asia, though now extensively cultivated in the Southern part of Italy and France. Its powerful yet sweet fragrance makes it a popular component in many perfumes. The aroma is a natural anti-depressant and stimulant, creating feelings of freshness, happiness and energy. This stimulating effect also aids in the digestive process, ensuring proper absorption of nutrients and metabolism.
