TOP 5 Grapefruit Essential Oil Uses and Benefits:
1. Weight Loss Booster
Most of us have heard that grapefruit is one of the most effective fruits for fat-burning and weight-loss. That’s because grapefruit’s active ingredients are super for boosting your metabolism and reducing your appetite.
Grapefruit essential oil is known to reduce hunger and cravings! Add a few drops to your water or tea, diffuse it in your office or home, and massage onto your chest or wrists when a craving strikes. You can also inhale it directly from the bottle throughout the day to reduce sugar cravings. Let’s kick that sugar addiction!
In addition, Grapefruit essential oil contains large amounts of bromelain, an anti-inflammatory enzyme that helps break down cellulite. That’s why you find it in so many cellulite creams. Here’s an easy and natural recipe you can make at home in mere minutes, and without all the commercial chemicals.
Grapefruit Essential Oil Cellulite-Busting Cream
INGREDIENTS:
· 15 drops doTERRA grapefruit essential oil
· 1/2 cup 100% pure virgin coconut oil, a natural skin hydrator
· One small glass jar
INSTRUCTIONS:
Blend doTERRA Grapefruit essential oil and coconut oil together. Store in a glass container (healthy acids in citrus oils can eventually eat away plastic). Rub directly on skin, especially any areas of cellulite, for several minutes a day.
2. Calm Your Mind and Emotions
Calm your mind and uplift your emotions by adding two drops of Grapefruit essential oil and one drop of Wild Orange in your favorite diffuser. Limonene, the main chemical constituent of both these citrus oils, produces the uplifting aroma of this amazing blend. (Add a drop of doTERRA’s Juniper Berry for a woodsy, grounding addition.) For tension, drop 1-2 drops of Grapefruit oil onto your neck and shoulders for comfort and calming.
