Preparations Atomizer/Spritzer: Add 6 drops to every 30mL of spring water. Shake well before each use. It is best to add the essential oil to one teaspoon of vodka to help it disperse in the water. Bath: For anxiety, depression, or tension, add 10 to 12 drops to 15mL (1 tbsp.) bath oil. May also be used as a massage oil. Facial Wash: For acne, oily skin, and other skin conditions/infections, and 20 drops essential oil to100mL cleanser. NOTE: Bergamot contains bergaptene, a constituent that can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Effects include increased photosensitivity and skin pigmentation. Use Bergaptene-free (BF) oils instead. Massage: For anxiety, depression, or tension, add 6 to 10 drops to 15mL/1 tbsp. unscented massage oil. Bergamot blends well with chamomile, coriander, cypress, eucalyptus, frankincense, geranium, jasmine, juniper, lavender, lemon, neroli (and other florals), patchouli, peppermint, and ylang ylang.
