Medicinal
Buddha's hand has a long history of medicinal use. According to pharmacopoeias, it has the effects of soothing the liver and regulating qi, harmonizing the stomach and relieving pain, and drying up dampness and resolving phlegm. For example, "Compendium of Materia Medica in Southern Yunnan" (page archive backup, stored in the Internet Archive) records that Buddha's hand has the effects of nourishing the liver and warming the stomach, stopping vomiting, and eliminating stomach cold phlegm. Modern medical research has even proven that bergamot has anti-depressant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-aging, and blood pressure lowering effects.
Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis, or the fingered citron, is a citron variety whose fruit is segmented into finger-like sections, resembling those seen on representations of the Buddha. It is called Buddha's hand in many languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and French.
The different cultivars and variations of this citron variety form a gradient from "open-hand" types with outward-splayed segments to "closed-hand" types, in which the fingers are kept together. There are also half-fingered fruits, in which the basal side is united and the apical side fingered. The origin of this kind of citron is commonly traced back to South or East Asia, probably northeastern India or China, where most domesticated citrus fruits originate.
Usage
Spices
Bergamot is highly aromatic and is used primarily in China and Japan to scent rooms and personal items such as clothing.
Religion
The fruit can be used as religious offerings in Buddhist temples. According to tradition, the Buddha preferred to place the "fingers" of the fruit in a position resembling closed rather than open hands, because closed hands symbolized the act of prayer to the Buddha. In China, bergamot fruit is a symbol of happiness, longevity and good fortune. It is also a traditional temple offering and New Year gift.
In the 19th century, Rabbi Abdallah Somekh from Baghdad and his disciple Rabbi Yosef Hayyim discussed whether Buddha's hands could be used in the Sukkot ceremony. For etrog. The former tended to allow their use, while the latter insisted that various etrogs should not be used without a positive tradition of their use.
Decorate
Bergamot is cultivated as an ornamental tree in gardens and as containers on patios and terraces. In the United States, its unripe fruits have been sold as Halloween decorative novelties under the trademark Fairy Finger.
Food and medicine
Unlike other citrus fruits, most varieties of bergamot contain no pulp or juice. While bergamot is prized primarily for its "delicate shape and aroma," it can also be eaten (usually as a peel or condiment) in desserts, savory dishes, and alcoholic beverages such as vodka or rice wine, or candied as dessert. The sliced, dried peel of the unripe fruit is also prescribed as a supplement in traditional medicine.
