The essential grapefruit oil has distinct properties that can offer a variety of health benefits, including reduced blood pressure and stress levels. Coming from the peel of the Citrus paradisi fruit, proponents suggest that breathing in the acidic scent of the oil can help lift your spirits and offer a variety of benefits.

It is believed that inhaling the aroma of essential grapefruit oil (or the absorption of essential grapefruit oil through the skin) transmits messages to a region of the brain involved in the control of emotions. Known as the limbic system, this region of the brain also influences the nervous system. Aromatherapy advocates suggest that essential treatments can affect a series of biological factors, including heart rate, stress levels, blood pressure, breathing and immune function.

Essential grapefruit oil is also used to reduce stress, stimulate circulation, increase energy, improve mood and improve digestion.
