During times of emotional imbalance it may be helpful to try grapefruit over possibly addictive prescription drugs. It has also been found useful in relieving water retention, congested skin, nervous exhaustion and stress. Try employing grapefruit in baths, massage oils, and skin care. The scent is also so fresh that it may be used to start a gray, cloudy day. Use small amounts.
Grapefruit is phototoxic.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight several hours after applying the oil on the skin.
