GRAPEFRUIT
Plant Origin: California.
Action: Antiseptic, disinfecting,
detoxifying, and diuretic. Like many cold-pressed citrus
oils, it has unique fat-dissolving characteristics. It
is exceptionally cleansing for oily skin. Psychologically,
it is antidepressant and emotionally uplifting.
Indications:Helps with acne,
cellulite, digestion, and fluid retention.
Other Uses: Grapefruit oil may help with depression,
drug withdrawal, eating disorders, fatigue, jet lag, liver
disorders, migraine headaches, pre-menstrual tension,
and stress. It may also have a cleansing effect on the
kidneys, the lymphatic system, and the vascular system.
Application: Diffuse and apply topically. Add to
food or water as a dietary supplement or flavouring. Grapefruit
is not photosensitizing unlike other oils with furocoumarins.
