Ananda Apothecary has added Grapefruit essential oil to its line. This is a great uplifting and refreshing oil cold pressed from white grapefruit grown in Florida.

Grapefruit essential oil is known for its anti-depressant effects, particularly in situations where one tends to overindulge in food (comfort foods) or chemicals to supress their feelings. Grapefruit oil is noted to move stagnent emotions from self critism and blame.

Grapefruit is also helpful for oil skin, being a natural astringent and antibacterial. Finally, it is thought to help in conditions of rheumatism where the pain is accompanied by heat in the joints.
