What is LCA Organic Grapefruit Essential Oil (10 ml) used for?
LCA Grapefruit Essential Oil helps regulate appetite. It’s ideal as a supplement to a weight-loss diet because it helps curb the urge to snack. Grapefruit essential oil is a digestive stimulant and a tonic for the nervous system; it combats hair loss and acts as an astringent, air antiseptic, detoxifier, liver and kidney drainer, diuretic, and purifier.
It tightens and stimulates tissues, making it very useful for treating oily skin. Grapefruit essential oil also has a diuretic effect that promotes weight loss by eliminating water retention. Finally, it also combats hair loss.
It possesses numerous benefits, such as:
- Airborne antiseptic: a powerful disinfectant when diffused into the air, thanks to its bactericidal and antiviral properties. It is therefore used to purify the ambient air or disinfect a room.
- Neurotropic: stimulates and increases blood pressure, making the autonomic nervous system more receptive and responsive. Be careful, however, not to use it with Fine Lavender essential oil, whose calming effect is the opposite.
- Liver detoxifier:regulates liver function, thereby soothing digestive issues, nausea, and the unpleasant effects of a rough night out.
We also offerpatchouli essential oil from LCA, a laboratory specializing in aromatherapy, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
How should this essential oil be used?
- Grapefruit essential oil is photosensitizing; do not apply it to the skin before sun exposure.
- It is also irritating and dermocaustic in its pure form, so it must be diluted to 20% in a carrier oil before any topical application (20% essential oil mixed with 80% carrier oil).
Diffusion:
- For pregnant women beyond the third month of pregnancy, and for babies and children over 3 months old, diffusion is an approved method of use.
