▎Essential Oil Introduction

Grapefruit originated in Asia, and with the migration of human civilization and commerce, the Rutaceae family developed many different varieties. Grapefruit is a hybrid between "orange" and "pomelo," with the essential oil mainly extracted from the peel. Its fresh and sweet fragrance is highly favored by aromatherapy users.

Grapefruit contains one of the highest proportions of d-limonene among essential oils. In terms of emotional healing, the fruits of the Rutaceae family absorb significant solar energy during growth, making grapefruit effective in uplifting spirits during moments of low mood, helping you shake off the gloom and embrace a brighter future.
