Pink Grapefruit

Latin Name: Citrus paradisi

 
Description

Energizing and uplifting. And with its price, you can't afford not to sample some! It seems to create a feeling of internal buoyancy. This light oil, with its well-known scent, is obtained by pressing the peels of the fruit.

 

 

Ailments / Situations Where Used

Grapefruit is recommended by some authorities for treating eating disorders, both anorexia and overeating, when they stem from lack of self esteem. It's also helpful in treating oily skin and hair, and is often recommended as part of anti cellulite blends because of its toning and astringent effects. It has antidepressant qualities, and acts as a lymphatic stimulant, which makes it helpful in the treatment of cellulite. It is also helpful in relieving fluid retention, due to its diuretic characteristics.
