Grapefruit oil, or Citrus Paradisi, is a citrus scented oil used in aromatherapy, and as an additive to fragrances, soaps, and other natural products. Its aroma is sweet, citrusy, and a little bit bitter. Grapefruit is a relatively new fruit in the citrus family which is actually a hybrid of the pomelo and sweet orange. Its oil is extracted by mechanical compression of the rind, and uses no heat or chemicals. This helps to preserve the efficacy of the oil's volatile compounds and the integrity of the oil.
Grapefruit oil has a reputation for detoxifying, clarifying, and cleansing. It's beneficial chemical constituent limonene comprises up to 95% of the oil base. Grapefruit oil is rich in antioxidants, containing vitamin C and Vitamin A. Grapefruit oil is one of the key components in natural detoxification of the lymphatic system. It may help boost activity in the lymph gland and reduce inflammation.
If you need a little mood booster, or are feeling down, Grapefruit oil can be an excellent choice for your diffuser. When inhaled the aroma may help to stimulate alertness and focus, and increase your body's metabolic rate. When added to a carrier oil, Grapefruit oil is excellent for soothing irritation and has antimicrobial activity against several strong strains of bacteria.
