History of Bergamot Essential Oil

Originally from Italy, bergamot is a small citrus fruit that looks like lemon, with a thick green-yellow skin. When ripe, it weighs between 80 and 200 g at most. As it is used relatively little in food form, it is difficult to find it in its natural state on market stalls. On the other hand, its use in the form of essential oil is much more common: this is the main reason for its cultivation on the Calabrian coast. Other countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Guinea and especially the Ivory Coast produce Bergamot Essential Oil, but their production represents only 15% of the world market.

Properties of Bergamot Essential Oil

The properties of Bergamot Essential Oil are explained by the active compounds present in the peels of Citrus aurantium ssp. bergamia.

For health

Antispasmodic
The linalool contained in the essential oil of bergamot intervenes in the contraction of smooth and striated muscles: it has an antagonistic action of the molecules involved in this process, which makes it possible to calm spasms. The presence of linalyl acetate completes its action.

Antibacterial, antiseptic
Linalool, again, has a known bactericidal, antifungal and parasiticidal action. Moreover, the limonene contained in the oil also has bactericidal and antifungal properties, especially when used in diffusion.

Carminative, digestive and laxative
Bergamot Essential Oil contains limonene which acts directly on gastric motility (this ability of the stomach to move to optimize the processes of digestion and absorption of nutrients along the small intestine). It also has choleretic and cholagogue activity, that is, it promotes the production of bile by the liver and its release in the intestine, thus improving the digestion of fatty substances. Finally, it has a carminative action, that is to say, it promotes the expulsion of intestinal gases, while reducing their production.

Anticarcinogenic
Limonene is now recognized as an anticancer agent with real potential as a dietary anticancer tool in humans.

Other properties:
-Anti-infectious
