What is Bergamot Mint?

Despite the name, Bergamot Mint is not related to the bergamot fruit in any way; rather, it comes from a flowering, perennial herb that is part of the Lamiaceae (mint) family. The essential oil, which is commonly found in many personal care products, is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of the Mentha citrata plant.

How to Use Bergamot Mint

Fresh, softly minty, and slightly citrusy, Bergamot Mint essential oil can be used aromatically and topically. Bergamot Mint is perfect for diffusing after a hard day or at bedtime. It can also make a wonderfully soothing addition to a comforting massage or warm bath.

Bergamot Mint’s calming, inspiring aroma is also effective at clearing the air of musty or unpleasant smells. Diffuse it or add a few drops to a small spray bottle with water to create a refreshing, clean-smelling room spray.

Another simple and easy way to use Bergamot Mint is by using it with the unscented doTERRA Spa Lotion. Just put a drop or two of Bergamot Mint in your palm, add a bit of lotion, and lather away. This can be especially helpful for a comforting aroma before sleep. Bergamot Mint is relatively gentle on the skin and is ideal for topical blends.
