I discovered the transformative effects of grapefruit essential oil during a particularly challenging time. I felt gloomy, overwhelmed, and stuck, so I pulled out my essential oils.
I added several drops of grapefruit to my diffuser and turned it on. It's incredible how fast my mood shifted and my mind cleared. After that, my mood was boosted.
Grapefruit is one of my favorite essential oils to diffuse. The aroma of these grapefruit essential oil blends is so yummy and uplifting. While grapefruits are usually tart and tangy, the essential oil from the peel has a sweet, fruity, fresh smell.
Grapefruit smells lovely with pine essential oils like white fir, Douglas fir, or cypress. I also like grapefruit and other citrus essential oils.
Grapefruit essential oil is an antioxidant that helps fight germs and viruses. It also helps with respiratory ailments by opening the airways. You've likely heard about diffusing oils in your home or office—inhalation is another way to enjoy them!
