Perhaps even above any of its therapeutic benefits, Bergamot is loved the most for its euphoric scent, which is the fragrant ingredient responsible for the unmistakable aroma of Earl Grey tea, and also the refreshing top note in the original Eau de Cologne.

• Safety Precautions:
  - Like some other citrus fruits, Bergamot contains a chemical compound called furo-coumarin, which makes ones skin extremely sensitive to the sun, even when Bergamot is diluted. To protect your skin from burning or discoloration, it is important to not use Bergamot Essential Oil on the skin right before sunbathing. Do not expose the skin to sunlight for three hours after application. This also applies to UV and infra-red treatment.
  - Use essential oils only in diluted form on the skin and never internally. Always be careful when using essential oils with children. Give them only low doses, or better, consult a qualified aromatherapy expert before using. Also use essential oils with care and only under the proper guidance of an expert while pregnant or if you have liver damage, epilepsy, cancer or other serious health problems.
