What makes a man or woman great? What guides them to genius -- and beyond? What is it that can fill the soul with the power and confidence to create marvels, the like of which the world is unprepared to accept?
According to some Italian chronicles, the answer is: Bergamot Oil.
The Italian historian Calavari wrote three centuries ago: “It is said that the great Leonardo da Vinci often stopped in the middle of a project, having taken umbrage at his patron or master, be he King or Pope. After a time, da Vinci would resume his work -- but not by reason of his respect for these authorities, but by reason of his use of certain oils and scents that moved him to serenity. Among these, da Vinci often claimed the virtues of bergamot oil was paramount.”
The private notebooks that Leonardo began keeping in the 1480’s reveal his interest in the healing properties of attar of roses and the oil of the bergamot orange. With medical science still in its infancy, Leonardo speculated that a volatile oil such as that from the bergamot orange would be useful in ‘cleansing the blood’ and infusing the mind with greater energy. His notebooks, which were kept in his own coded language that has only recently been deciphered, described and depicted a complicated set of glass alembics that could be used to process the bergamot fruit into a volatile oil without the use of any sorting or crushing equipment.
In ancient times both the Persians and the Turks used bergamot marmalade to give them an energy boost on their long journeys of conquest. The Romans of Caesar Augustus’ time planted the bergamot orange tree in Calabria, using its oil to perfume their wives and daughters. By da Vinci’s time, Italian wines were often flavored with bergamot oil. It was said to relieve stomach cramps and menstrual pain.
Today we know that bergamot oil, used with discretion, can relax nerve endings in the human body and release tensions to a remarkable degree. It is often prescribed in aromatherapy to enhance creativity and block anxiety.
Can its use help create another polymath like Leonardo da Vinci? It certainly might help!
