Anxiety is one of the most common and treatable mental health illnesses, yet only about 36% of people suffering seek treatment. Pursuing treatment comes with the costs of visits and medications, along with the limitations of those medications. The purpose of this study was to assess the beneficial effects of Bergamot (Citrus aurantium var. bergamia) essential oil for the management of anxiety. There is sufficient evidence that supports the use of Bergamot essential oil for the management of anxiety. Even so, there is a need for more in-depth research into specific effective essential oils and concentrations. Despite a need for future studies, the current research is positive, and we should remain open-minded to the idea of Bergamot essential oil as an option to manage anxiety, either on its own or in conjunction with other therapies.
