Grapefruit essential oil is one of the most versatile and popular oils in aromatherapy. It has a sweet citrusy scent, which is uplifting and energizing. Grapefruit essential oil can be used to help improve mood, relieve stress, reduce pain, and promote healthy digestion.
Grapefruit oil is extracted from the fresh peel by cold compression. In this process, the extraction is done without heat or solvents, which preserves its delicate oils and terpenes.
