1️⃣ Diffusing:
Add 5-8 drops to your diffuser to create a calming and uplifting atmosphere.

2️⃣ Topical Application:
Dilute bergamot with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba oil) to apply to pulse points, heart chakra, or temples. Use a 2-3% dilution (6-9 drops per 10ml of carrier oil) for general use.

3️⃣ Inhalation:
Place a drop on your palms, rub them together, and take a deep breath to reset your energy.

4️⃣ Bath:
Mix 4-6 drops of bergamot with a tablespoon of carrier oil or unscented body wash, then add it to warm bathwater for a soothing soak.

Safety Considerations for Bergamot

Bergamot is a citrus oil and can be phototoxic, meaning it increases skin sensitivity to UV light. If applied topically, avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 12 hours after application. Alternatively, use bergamot FCF (furocoumarin-free) for a safer option in sunlight. Always patch test before use to check for sensitivity.
