JPF Wellness: August Oil of the Month

Drum roll please...this month's featured oil is...

GRAPEFRUIT!

In this all new segment, we will be featuring one essential oil on the first Wednesday of every month. We will be giving you fun educational information about the benefits of the featured oil, how to diffuse the oil, diffuser blends, how to infuse it where applicable, recipes for food and fun bath and body products you can DIY all month long! Never miss a tip or trick by following us on instagram.

This month the oil just happens to be Grapefruit, which has many great benefits.

Uses:

The uses of grapefruit essential oil are plentiful. When diffused it is uplifting, tension releasing, calming, and clarity providing.

Benefits:

Other benefits of grapefruit include its innate ability to clear skin, removing toxins from the pores and controlling blemish outbreaks. We do want to warn you though, once applied topically you should stay out of the sun for 10-12 hours due to the amount of vitamins C & D in the oil (those attract sunlight).

Supports:

Grapefruit Oil is extremely versatile, it has properties that support the lymphatic and circulatory systems, that remove potentially damaging oxidizing agents from the body, that rid the body of toxins, waste, and unwanted chemicals. Grapefruit essential oil contains many of its benefits because of the limonene it possesses. Limonene is an element used to make many medicines, including cancer treatment and prevention. It is also used in the medicines prescribed to treat bronchitis.

Diffuser Blend Tip:

One of the best diffuser blends contining grapefruit is 2 drops grapefruit, 2 drops juniper berry, and 1 drop orange. This is an extremely calming yet uplifting blend, great for unwinding after work or to create a welcoming aroma when entertaining guests.

Infusing Tip:

Grapefruit Vitality is one oil that is friendly for ingestion, on that note I highly suggest adding it to your morning smoothies. This will help energize you in the mornings, just like your routine cup of coffee. Citrus oils are known for these properties.

Other Blends:

Other oils that blend well with Grapefruit Vitality are: Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Lavender, Peppermint, Rosemary, and Bergamot.
