Other Benefits

Bergamot essential oil is a tonic, meaning it tones the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory, and neurological systems, as well as the skin and muscles. It's also anti-congestive and used in vaporizers to reduce congestion and respiratory issues, especially during coughs and colds. It acts as an expectorant, loosening phlegm and mucus in the respiratory tracts and assisting the body in expelling it naturally by sneezing and coughing, so eliminating some of the germs and toxins that caused the ailment in the first place.

Although research on some of these conditions has been limited, the respiratory and digestive effects of bergamot essential oil may be broader than previously imagined. Ongoing research indicates that using this essential oil may be able to prevent the production of gallstones as well as guard against colic, halitosis, bronchitis, and diphtheria.
