Grapefruit is an oil that helps you feel good inside and out. I think everyone should drink grapefruit oil as often as they can, even daily. dōTERRA grapefruit oil smells sharp and clean just like fresh grapefruit should. The essential oil is from the rinds (peel)–not the fleshy fruit. The rind has a completely different chemical makeup, so those people who have been ‘advised’ not to eat grapefruit or oranges can now rest assured in using the essential oil without incident. Grapefruit is an ingredient in the following blends: dōTERRA Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend, AromaTouch massage Blend, and Citrus Bliss Invigorating Blend.
dōTERRA PINK grapefruit has high levels of Limonene. Limonene is a cell protective compound. Limonene: Limonene is a monoterpene, a chemical constituent found in essential oils. Limonene is found in most citrus oils. Limonene has cancer cell inhibition abilities. Grapefruit – 97%, Wild Orange – 95%, Tangerine – 94.62%, Mandarin –72.36%, Lemon – 65.4412

Grapefruit oil really helps you love, respect and protect the body again. Sometimes we are so accustomed to abusing our body and we don’t know how to stop. We abuse our body with junk foods, substance, lack of exercise, negative thinking and self-hatred. Grapefruit helps you relax and see the positive things about your body.
The body is an important part of your Earthly experience. It allows you to learn amazing lessons. The body and spirit needs to be aligned for your progression.
