Grapefruit Essential oil (Citrus Paradisi)

The citrus family of Essential oils are awesome and it's hard to choose which one I like best. Grapefruit Essential oil has punch like Lemon but a sweetness like Orange to it. It's wonderful when diffused with Bergamot or Lavender, and I love adding a drop to my water.

Grapefruit is a hybrid from a sweet orange and a pomelo. When it was discovered, it was called the 'forbidden fruit" and often overlooked,  now it's a prized fruit  that is loved by many and comes in a few different varieties.

When I was younger we would always cut a grapefruit in half and sprinkle it with some sugar for a tasty treat, which is probably one reason I like adding a drop to my water.
