Grapefruit Essential Oil

Description

Grapefruit essential oil (Citrus Paradisi) comes from an ancient hybrid, probably between the sweet orange and the pomelo. It was used for a long time only as an ornamental plant. It is the only citrus fruit that is supposed to come not from South-East Asia but from Central America. Its fruit became popular only in the 19th century.

Suggested Uses:

• Room diffuser: 3/4 drops in 100 ml of water. We suggest accompanying it with other essential oils.
• Bath tub: 8/10 drops of essential oil emulsified in coarse salt or milk or cream or honey to be put in hot water (this helps prevent the oil from volatilizing due to the heat)
• Massage: a few drops of essential oil in a spoonful of oil through or neutral cream.
  
• Food use: We recommend 1/2 drops per 100 gr. of food as a flavouring to add at the end of cooking (we suggest always starting with the lowest recommended dose and, if necessary, increasing the drops in the future).

Warnings: Non-toxic essential oil, unlike almost all other citrus fruits, there are no cases of phototoxicity.
