Effect & Properties

Used as a home fragrance, grapefruit essential oil can help counteract stress, depression and mental exhaustion, stimulate creativity and generally spread a good mood. It is particularly popular in the low-light season as a fresh, stimulating fragrance that conveys lightness. It can also be used to promote communication and purify the air in office and business premises. Due to its encouraging, activating effect, grapefruit oil is also ideal for a good start into the new day. The scent can help to wake up properly in the morning and start the day fit.

Characteristics

Grapefruit essential oil is used in aromatherapy as an uplifting, euphoric and pain-relieving oil. Smelling is intended to stimulate the body to release special endogenous opiates (encephalins), which contribute greatly to a positive feeling of well-being. With its antibacterial, immune-boosting properties, grapefruit essential oil can provide relief from colds and flu. It is also said to stimulate metabolism and support fat burning, so that it can also have a positive effect on detoxification treatments and losing weight.

It is also successfully used by therapists in the form of massages, wraps or baths for headaches, muscle fatigue, stiffness, training preparation, water retention and cellulite.

Grapefruit essential oil is assigned the following properties in the specialist literature:

Antibacterial
Air sterilizing
astringent (contracting)

Skin tightening
fat tissue breaking down (lipolytic)
Eliminating
Stimulates appetite and digestion
slightly diuretic

Promotes blood circulation
deodorizing

Manufacturing

Grapefruit essential oil is obtained by cold pressing the outer peel of the fruit of the grapefruit tree (Citrus paradisi ).

Hints

Pay attention to the hazard warnings on the label. The bottle is equipped with a child-proof cap and vertical dropper. To dose the essential oil, hold the head of the bottle vertically downwards so that you can then count the individual drops. After opening for the first time, depending on the consistency of the oil, it may take some time until the first drops appear. Attention: Essential oils are concentrates that may only be used diluted! The main ingredient, limonene, is classified as a health risk when used on the skin or when ingested. Grapefruit oil may also contain furocoumarin derivatives (e.g. bergapten ), which have photosensitizing and phototoxic properties. Under the influence of UV light (including sunlight), skin irritations such as pigment spots can occur.

Packaging & Storage

Packaging: Protected from light in blue glass bottles with child-resistant closures

Storage: Store away from light at temperatures of 15 to 22 °C and away from children.

General questions about essential oils

What makes our essential oils special?

100% natural: Our oils have no added synthetic substances or other oils.
Organic and sustainable: We only use concentrates from plants from controlled organic cultivation (kbA).
Genuine & authentic: The oil is unchanged, natural and only obtained from the specified parent plant according to the botanical name.

Natural effect and versatile: There are numerous possible uses and scent combinations that you can mix yourself. With our essential oils you can feel good in a healthy atmosphere at home, in the office and on the go
Good quality at a fair price: Since our oils contain 10 ml per bottle, we are significantly cheaper than the competition, which often only offers 5 ml per bottle.

Why should you try essential oils?

Essential oils are a good and healthy alternative to room sprays containing chemicals and artificial fragrances. Essential oils are a healthy way to create a pleasant scent in your home, office, or wherever you are.

Essential oils also have a pleasant effect and, depending on the note and scent, can help you relax or concentrate, have a calming or comforting effect, or can be refreshing, invigorating and activating. The varied scents and multiple possible uses can increase your well-being and be a nice addition to your everyday life. Just try it out and let us convince you!

How can aromas affect the body?

Aromas can affect your body in several ways. The obvious way to detect aromas is through the nose: the olfactory nerves pass the signal on to the brain and can thus influence moods.

Another mode of action is through the skin. The molecules of essential oils can pass through cell membranes and the skin and thus reach the tissue and blood. They are also able to influence an effect in the body via this route.

A third mode of action is through the stomach: When we eat spices such as peppermint or thyme that contain essential oils, they reach the stomach and develop their effect this way.

Are there risks and side effects with essential oils? And what's the truth about the criticism of aroma therapy?

Essential oils should only be used diluted, as high concentrations can lead to headaches and allergic reactions

Since essential oils have a wide range of effects (strong substances with powerful effects), they should be used carefully

Aromatherapy is a holistic form of therapy for the body and soul. It is difficult to evaluate the therapy scientifically. Sensory and emotional impressions triggered by the oils cannot be objectified.

Grapefruit as a room fragrance and in perfumery

In cosmetics, grapefruit oil contributes fragrance components in soaps, detergents, cosmetics and perfumes. In skin care, it is a frequent component of cleansing care products and for promoting hair growth. The disinfecting properties are used therapeutically for oily or acne-prone skin.

Origin of the grapefruit - lat. Citrus x paradisi - Paraguay

The grapefruit tree belongs to the rue family (Rutaceae). The grapefruit was probably created by accident by crossing an orange (Citrus aurantium) and a grapefruit (Citrus maxima) and is also known as the apple of paradise. The evergreen tree is native to the Asian tropics and the Antilles and grows up to 15 m tall. The dark green, glossy, narrow leaves are 15 cm long. Large, yellow to reddish colored fruits develop from strongly fragrant, white flowers.
