Historical Uses for Grapefruit Essential Oil

Grapefruit has been used historically to aide in healthy digestion, boost immune system function and as a miracle tonic for the skin.

Fun Facts:

  • Grapefruit is said to be a hybrid of the shaddock (Citrus grandis) and the sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) that originated in Barbados in the 18th century.
  •  Grapefruit grows in clusters of fruit on the tree which can be similar in appearance to grapes, thus the name “grapefruit.”

Aroma and Tips for Blending

  • Grapefruit essential oil is steam distilled from the rind of the grapefruit.
  • It has a clean, citrusy, and slightly bitter scent.
  • It is considered a top note when blending with other oils and acts as a modifier and enhancer.
  • Grapefruit blends well with basil, bergamot, cedarwood, chamomile, cypress, frankincense, geranium, juniper, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, rosewood, and ylang ylang.

Uses

  • It can be used for topical, aromatic, and internal applications.
  • Grapefruit for internal use can be found using Young Living’s Vitality line of essential oils.
  • Grapefruit has been proven to help support healthy weight management. That’s why we love it in our Citrus Water!
