Pink Grapefruit is actually referred to as the “dieter’s friend.” It is also recommended for treating eating disorders and obesity issues.
Pink Grapefruit is a perfect way to jump into those difficult mornings when you can’t bring yourself to crawl out of bed. If it is kept it by the bedside it can be of great help to get moving and wake up. Also, consider using this essential oil for aromatherapy when feelings of being overwhelmed threaten. When one feels drained, Grapefruit oil can help renew a healthy optimism!
Pink Grapefruit essential oil is also useful for enhancing self esteem. After inhalation, one will feel a sense of empowerment. It is not unusual for people to actually recapture childlike joy after inhaling Pink Grapefruit oil. The urge to skip down the street or jump on the bed would not be unheard of.
Not only does Pink Grapefruit help to diminish people’s appetites, but it also helps improve digestion and metabolism.
Adding a drop or two of Pink Grapefruit essential oil to the shampoo bottle will result in a lustrous shine in one’s hair. Pink Grapefruit has also been shown to help eliminate oily scalps and other skin and hair conditions.
If Pink Grapefruit oil is applied topically, it can have beneficial toning and astringent effects. It has also been proven to stimulate the lymphatic system.

How to use Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil:
Remember that it is important to use certified organic cold pressed oil extracted from the rind of the fruit. Pesticides are on the surfaces of fruits and vegetables and cannot simply be washed completely off.
Place one to three drops of Pink Grapefruit onto the palm of the hand.
Rub the hands together vigorously, cup the hands together, and slowly inhale the zesty aroma. You can readily adjust the intensity of the aroma simply by increasing or decreasing how close the hands are held to the nose.
Breathe in the scent of Pink Grapefruit 5 to 20 minutes prior to a meal. It is also important to drink 8 ounces of pure water after inhaling the oil.
If a blend is created with wild Patchouli essential oil, the effect of the Pink Grapefruit essential oil will be enhanced and the result will be a natural appetite suppressant.

You are SO AWESOME to tout the benefits of Essential Oils as they truly are LIFE-SAVING HOLISTIC HEALTH MODALITIES. I should know — I’ve been using Essential Oils for all of my health-resolving strategies for 13 years and with GREAT success!
For the benefit of your reading audience, I would like to add, if I may, a bit of caution in that not all Essential Oils are created equal. For the greatest medicinal and holistic health accomplishments, one must be sure that the Essential Oils are not only THERAPEUTIC-GRADE, but also the kind that are produced according to the one and only true international standard …. that of AFNOR/ISO. With the propensity for 99% of the producers to use either ineffectual herb combinations or, worse yet, SYNTHETIC enhancers, extenders and binders in their products, without the consumer ever knowing the difference, those seeking to self-heal must be on guard.
If I can be of any guidance, please let me know!
GREAT ARTICLE and thanks for taking the time to alert the world!!
