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. Because Bergamot Mint is a mint oil, not a citrus oil, it does not cause photosensitivity.
Similar to Lavender, Bergamot Mint’s major constituents linalool and linalyl acetate may have a soothing/comforting effect
Perfect for diffusing after a hard day or at bedtime, it can also be added to Fractionated Coconut Oil as part of a comforting and soothing after-workout massage.
Bergamot Mint’s lavender-like, minty aroma also complements a warm soothing bath.
Uses
- Diffuse day or night for a comforting atmosphere.
