9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is bergamot oil the same as what’s in Earl Grey tea?
A: Yes! The distinct flavor and aroma of Earl Grey tea comes from the essence of bergamot orange rind. Our oil provides the authentic, pure scent of that famous blend.

Q: Why is bergamot oil considered photosensitive?
A: It contains natural compounds (furocoumarins) that react with UV light. If applied to the skin and then exposed to the sun, it can cause severe burns, blisters, or dark spots. Always use sun protection after topical use or use a “bergapten-free” version if sun exposure is planned.

Q: Can I use this oil in my sauna even if it’s photosensitive?
A: Absolutely. The photosensitivity warning only applies to direct topical application on the skin. Using it aromatically in your sauna or diffuser is completely safe and will not cause a reaction.

Q: How does bergamot help with anxiety?
A: Its unique aroma is known in aromatherapy for having dual action: it is both uplifting to combat sadness and calming to reduce nervous tension. This makes it excellent for alleviating stress.

Q: Can I pour it directly on the hot stones in my sauna?
A: It is not recommended to pour it directly. Always dilute the drops in a generous amount of water (at least 200 ml) first. Pouring pure oil can damage your sauna heater stones and create a fire hazard.
