White Grapefruit Essential Oil
White grapefruit has a refreshing, uplifting and enlightening aroma. It enhances mental clarity and sharpens the senses when inhaled.
It is great to take along on long journeys, as it can relieve stress from traveling, and jet lag. It is also a very strong anti-microbial and anti-infectious, helping to neutralize exposure to germs and microbes.
Energetically, it is associated with the sacral energy center, or root. It energizes us to rise to the occasion and increases stamina and endurance.

Observations and Anecdotal Information
White grapefruit essential oil can be used to purify and balance my digestive system, especially when it feels congested and stagnant. We recommend to take it internally by adding a drop or two of the oil to a spoonful of honey.
Alternatively, you could add sweetener and 2 drops of the oil into a cup of hot water and stir, then drink it like a tea.
Adding upwards of 30 drops of white grapefruit essential oil into a kidney, liver, circulatory or lymphatic system cleanse, is greatly recommended due to its superior digestive support.
White grapefruit essential oil combined with cypress essential oil is a phenomenal treatment for cellulite skin condition. For this you can apply an undiluted blend of both cypress EO and white grapefruit oils onto the area that needs to be treated. Then you wrap the skin with saran wrap, and relax for 30 minutes, allowing the oils to do their work. Once the 30 minutes are done you can then remove the saran wrap, and if possible–go right into a hot bath.
The hot water from the bath will drive the oil deeper into the skin and enhance the cleansing and fat dissolving properties. Skin may turn red for up to a few hours after this treatment, showing the degree of circulatory stimulation that has occurred. Not to worry, however, as the redness will fade after a few hours.
Cautions
Grapefruit essential oil can be photo toxic. Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours after using it.
This oil is generally regarded as safe. Very sensitive individuals may have mild skin sensitivity when applied topically.
Avoid when taking certain prescription medicines, especially blood thinners such as Coumadin or Warfarin, unless advised by a medical professional. Grapefruit fruit contains a flavonoid called naringin which can interfere with the body’s absorption of pharmaceutical drugs. The essential oil of grapefruit contains no naringin.
Safe for use during pregnancy and lactation.
Keep all essential oils away from eyes.
Store safely out of the reach of children.
