Aromatherapy Properties:
(Uses)
This
oil is high in linalol and linalyl acetate (like the lavenders) and is much
safer on the skin than other mint oils. It's chemistry is similar to Lavender
and is easier on the skin than other mint oils. Bergamot Mint is used for
cooling, and in calming and soothing blends. It is emotionally uplifting and at
the same time soothing for the nervous system. It is great for nausea, to reduce
anxiety and stress, and for reducing fear and panic. Great to use for hot
flashes during menopause. Excellent to use as a perfume, in a bath blend, and in
daily moisturizing lotions. Bergamot Mint is also perfect in massage oils. It
brings an antispasmodic and calming effect, and the aroma is wonderful. |

History:
 The History of
mint plants dates back to at least 1,000 BC when the ancient Egyptians used it
as part of their funerary process. Most of the plants used and cultivated today
originated in the Mediterranean. The name itself comes from the Latin menta or
menth, the Greek minthe or minthos and the Germanic version minta. The ancient
Romans used mint plants to adorn themselves and their tables, and the use of
mint by the Egyptians has also been well documented. The Romans believed that
the consumption of mint would increase the intelligence The smell of mint in
their houses was also a symbol of hospitality.In medieval times mint
was used to cure mouth sores, dog bites, and insect stings, it helped to whiten
teeth and prevented the milk from curdling.
In Greek myth, Minthe was the name of a beautiful water nymph who was
pursued by Pluto, god of the underworld. When his wife Persephone found out
about the dalliance she turned Minthe into a plant that would be trodden
underfoot. Having been caught in the act, Pluto could do nothing but accept his
wife's vengeance. But he did turn Minthe into the herb mint that when trod on
would release a beautiful fragrance. The ancient Romans used mint to adorn
themselves and their tables, and the use of mint by the Egyptians has also been
well documented.
The Roman, Pliny the Elder, advised scholars to wear a crown of mint
plants to aid concentration, but he also warned lovers that it was contrary to
procreation. The Greeks, however believed the opposite - their soldiers were
warned to avoid mint during a war as it was feared that increased love-making
would diminish their courage. Mint is said to bring luck and helps to increase
your money prospects if a few leaves are rubbed into the purse. Mint has been
used to cleanse and protect the home from disease and negativity and is also a
traditional folk cure for a headache; the cure was achieved by rubbing a few
mint leaves on the forehead. |
