Essential oils are extracted from medicinal plants, they are concentrated and powerful, all is needed is a few drops or a drop to experience their incredible benefits.  Ancient cultures used them for overall health and pleasure.

Naturally high in antioxidants and phytochemicals, they reduce oxidative stress and disease-causing inflammation. Many of the grapefruit's essential oil benefits are due to one of its main constituents called limonene (which makes up about 88 percent to 95 percent of the oil). Limonene is known to be a tumor-fighting, cancer-preventative phytochemical that protects DNA and cells from damage. In addition to limonene, grapefruit essential oil contains other powerful antioxidants, including vitamin C, myrcene, terpinene, pinene and citronellol.

Most commonly, grapefruit oil is used to fight throat and respiratory infections, fatigue, and muscle aches. Grapefruit oil has antimicrobial effects that help reduce or eliminate harmful strains of bacteria that enter the body through contaminated foods, water or parasites. Research shows that grapefruit oil can even fight strong bacterial strains that are responsible for food-born illnesses, including E. Coli and salmonella.
