Also known as shaddock in some areas of the world, grapefruit is a tangy, antioxidant-packed citrus fruit, whose scientific name is Citrus paradisi-also known by these two other scientific names: Citrus racemosa and Citrus maxima.
Like all other citrus fruits, grapefruit’s essential oil is found in its peel and is extracted via compression. Many of its health-supporting properties mirror those of the essential oils of other citrus fruits.†
Some of the potent components of grapefruit essential oil (Citrus paradise) is found in its limonene, alpha pinene, sabinene, myrcene, geraniol, linalool, citronellal, decyl acetate, neryl acetate and terpineol. While that’s an array of scientific names, the bottom line is that grapefruit essential oil, due to its properties, can provide a holistic, powerful support for health.†
