BERGAMOT Tea, also known as Oswego tea, has a pleasant orange flavor. Traditionally, Native Americans as well as settlers used bergamot tea as a tonic to treat fever, colds, coughs, nausea and sore throats. Additionally, the tea treats stomachaches, nosebleeds and insomnia and induces sweating, according to anecdotal reports. You can use the tea to make a poultice that treats headaches.
