Bergamot FCF Essential Oil In Brief
Bergamot FCF Essential Oil is a profoundly uplifting but calming citrus oil that would be photo-toxic if it weren’t furocoumarin-free, (FCF). The photo-toxic constituent in Bergamot Essential Oil is bergaptene, which is removed from the FCF essential oil.
Bergamot FCF Aromatherapy Oil is very supportive of our physical heart health, but is also deeply supportive of heart health from a spiritual & energetic perspective. It is one of the aromatherapy oils which resonate with the energy of unconditional love.

Organic Bergamot FCF Essential Oil is often used in a popular blend of essential oils which may be helpful for anxiety and depression, and for possibly improving energy levels.
The three essential oils in this popular, and beautifully aromatic blend, are:
- Organic Lavender Essential Oil
- Organic Bergamot FCF Essential Oil
- Organic Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Organic Ylang Ylang Essential Oil can be replaced with Cananga Essential Oil, which is aromatically very similar, and is also considered to be possibly helpful for emotional support, and may also be profoundly anti-inflammatory.
Depression is an inflammatory condition.
Depression and fatigue are conditions responsible for heavy global societal burden, especially in patients already suffering from chronic diseases. These symptoms have been identified by those affected as some of the most disabling symptoms which affect the quality of life and productivity of the individual. While many factors play a role in the development of depression and fatigue, both have been associated with increased inflammatory activation of the immune system affecting both the periphery and the central nervous system (CNS). This is further supported by the well-described association between diseases that involve immune activation and these symptoms in autoimmune disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and immune system activation in response to infections, like sepsis. Treatments for depression also support this immunopsychiatric link.
