 Tips for using Bergamot oil:
 Dilution:
 Dilute with a percentage of 1% of the finished mixture, usually 20 drops or 1 ml of essential oil to 100 ml of base oil. Do not use undiluted on the skin. You can use up to 3% dilution for use on your body or in the bath.  Consult a doctor or midwife before using during pregnancy.
 In the diffuser:
 Make your own revitalizing blend including Bergamot, Lemon,  Grapefruit  and  Orange and use in your burner or diffuser.
 Skin care:
 Add a few drops of Bergamot to the facial cleanser to get the extra benefits of Bergamot.
 Massage:
 For an uplifting massage, why not make your own massage blend by combining Bergamot with Basil, Lemon, Rosemary and Eucalyptus with an optional base oil. We recommend liquid / fractionated coconut oil. See mixing ratios under the section “dilution”
 General precautions when using essential oils:
 Remember that all essential oils should be used with great care and respect. These drops are very potent and should be kept out of the reach of children. Pregnant women should avoid all essential oils and people with epilepsy, asthma and high blood pressure should check specifically regarding the individual oils.
 Never use essential oils internally. There are some exceptions for some of the oils as a flavoring, but then only in microscopic amounts mixed with liquid or the like. In fact, drinking only a few milliliters of essential oil can, in the worst case, be fatal.
 Always read a little before you start experimenting with essential oils and remember to check that they are labeled 100% pure essential oils.
