Now's Bergamot oil is terrific and is one of the oils I keep in my olfactory paintbox of "necessary scents".

There is, however, one thing everyone using Bergamot on their skin should know: it can heighten sensitivity to sunlight. For some people, this becomes problematic. This may sound like the inverse of what is logical, as this oil is often used to treat skin conditions. It is, regardless, a fact that needs to be taken into consideration.

This is in no way particular to Now's formulation. It is simply a characteristic of the herb. True Bergamot, which this most certainly is, can increase photo-sensitivity. Only a synthetic version would fail to act in this way.

Dilution of the pure Essential Oil (which is typically recommended for a variety of purposes and reasons) will minimize the sensitivity somewhat in people who experience increased sensitivity to sunlight, but will not eliminate it entirely.

Thus, if you are new to Bergamot and find yourself becoming more sensitive to sunlight, it is not your imagination. It is important to know the attributes of oils and perfumes we wear on our skin or breathe within our environment.

Bergamot has a very uplifting quality, which makes it one of my own survival scents for gloomy, overcast winter weather. I make my own "air freshener" or add it to a heat source. In so doing, there is the sense of the sun breaking through the clouds. Scents can be so subtle and yet so powerful, we often overlook the way they influence our lives. There are still people in the world who believe that aromatherapy is "utter nonsense" because they don't make the connection between scent and emotion or mood. They react, but don't understand or accept that an aroma is what created the change. Ah, well.

Bergamot is also a fine insect repellent, should you find the scent of Citronella or Geranium offensive. It has a "gender-neutral" quality that even very macho males will quite often not find objectionable.

I like Earl Grey tea, but I don't like the price usually, so I started looking around for a way to make my own. I started with my favorite tea, PG tips, and went on to find oil of Bergamot to complete the recipe. I searched high and low for a quality oil at a good price. I could have gone to my local food coop, but they tend to be over-priced. This bottle is the largest quantity of good quality oil for the lowest price. Some oils were labeled in such a way that I couldn't be sure they were intended to be ingested, and I didn't want to take a chance on them. Maybe it wouldn't have mattered. At any rate, this oil has the great bergamot fragrance associated with Earl Grey tea. I find that one or two drops is all I need to add the flavor to a nice strong cup of PG Tips tea. I either add it to the tea leaves in the pot before adding the water, or I add it to the cup with my stevia before I add the brewed tea. I stir it up well, and give it a couple of minutes. When you drink it immediately, it is a little bitter. I think it needs a little bit of time to evaporate some of what is going to evaporate. I'm just guessing. But I do know that it tastes better after it has mingled with the hot tea for a few minutes. The opening is one of those that allows you to control the drops. It works very well. I find that I have to turn it a certain way to get the oil to come out. If you look inside the dropper opening, you can see it is in 3 sections, and 1 section is different. It drips better if this one different section is down toward the cup. Otherwise, it is hard to get a drop out. I think this bottle is going to last almost forever. Good product, great price. Highly recommended.
