Bergamot Oil for Stress — With a Photosensitivity Warning
Citrus calm comes with a sun-exposure footnote you should not skip.
[ wellness ]
Wellness for builders is not luxury — it is maintenance. Scent, touch, and ritual can support recovery when used with realistic expectations. Nothing here replaces medical care.
Bergamot’s bright aroma is popular in blends marketed for mood. Inhaled, it may help some people feel less tense; topically, it demands respect.
Critical: bergapten in bergamot can increase photosensitivity. Do not apply to skin before sun exposure. Prefer diffusion indoors.
Builder use case: afternoon diffuser reset between meetings — short burst, window cracked.
Pair with: factual stress management (walk, water, calendar boundaries), not instead of them.
