How to Use Bergamot
Bergamot is a fruit that looks a little like a lime with a lighter green color and tart citrus taste.
It is within the citrus family.
Bergamot was an ingredient in the first perfume ever made and is still used today as an ingredient to Earl Grey tea.
Where it comes from
The Bergamot sold through doTERRA comes from Italy where the climate is ideal for this fruit to flourish.
This oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit to deliver some wonderful citrus related benefits to our health.
