Bergamot Elixir

BERGAMOT ELIXIR

Bergamot has some amazing medicinal benefits! It is a highly fragrant flower with high amounts of volatile oils in the plant.

Bergamot (monarda fistulosa) is a member of the mint family. That alone tells us that it can help relieve gassiness, and upset stomachs, and can help to soothe the body overall.

Bergamot has a high thymol content, which is a strong antiseptic also found in the herb Thyme. It can help remedy respiratory tract infections, gas, diarrhea, nausea, whooping cough, cold and flu symptoms, fevers, and wounds.

As an antifungal, bergamot can be used to gently protect the body's microbiome while fighting off fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and more. It can be used as a mouth wash to help with toothaches, mouth sores, canker sores, and sore throats. It is a fragrant, potent flower that can be a useful addition to your medicine cabinet. This elixir is paired with raw honey which only adds to the medicinal benefits.
