Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) Essential Oil Profile

Grapefruit is a very versatile oil. It has a refreshing, tangy and uplifting aroma, making it a wonderful addition to any blend, oil burner or room spray. In a massage blend, it can help detoxify the body by unblocking congested skin. It is especially good for cellulite, muscle fatigue and water retention. It is excellent for acne and oily skin when used in moderation. Grapefruit can also treat the following conditions: anxiety, depression, headaches, nervous tension and stress. I find that Grapefruit in an oil burner can bring clarity and help you focus on those little jobs that are so easily put off for another day. It can help clear frustration and indecisiveness remarkably well!

Safety Precautions: Grapefruit is non-toxic and non-sensitizing but may be phototoxic, so it must not be used prior to going out in the sun or on a sun-bed. 

This is an essential oil that I sell in my on-line shop and at my Aromatherapy practice in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. More information about other oils in my shop can be found on the Products and News pages (please check out  ‘Essential Oil Information Leaflet’)
