Bergamot essential oil is rich in linalool, a monoterpene alcohol that has anxiolytic effects when inhaled. It increases the concentration of neurotransmitter amino acids in the hippocampus, helping to regulate sleep-wake alternation. When inhaled, it induces a sedative effect on the central nervous system, reduces blood cortisol and exerts an anti-stress and anti-depressive action. Bergamot balances the autonomic nervous system and increases neurotransmitter levels, exerting a neuroprotective and analgesic action, notably to prevent glutamate accumulation.

Limonene, also present in bergamot essential oil, plays a role in hepatic detoxification, notably by stimulating cytochromes P450 and phase II enzymes such as glutathione-S-transferase, essential for the elimination of toxins. Limonene and linalool, as well as geranyl and linalyl acetates , give bergamot oil antinauseant, antispasmodic and gastroprotective properties. These components support gastric motility and help regulate acidity in cases of gastro-oesophageal reflux. Bergamot oil acts as a neurotropic spasmolytic with an anticholinergic effect, reducing muscle spasms in various parts of the body, including the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract.

This essential oil is involved in lipid regulation, reducing cholesterol levels and stimulating the secretion and evacuation of bile.
