Grapefruit Essential Oil – Benefits and Remedies

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife August 29, 2017June 15, 2020
August 29, 2017June 15, 2020

Grapefruit Essential Oil is one of my favourite oils.  I really love the scent, it’s fresh and brings back memories of my childhood when I used to have breakfast with my Nanna, she always had a grapefruit and toast.  Grapefruit Essential Oil can provide an uplifting environment due to it’s invigorating and energising aroma, while acting as a purifying agent when added to a skin care routine. This was actually the first essential oil I owned and from there I haven’t looked back.

I am slowly building an A-Z Essential Oil Usage Guide, listing the extensive and therapeutic properties of each of the Essential Oils I have been using along with remedies and benefits for health, beauty and around the home. 

I now stock an ever-growing range of essential oils in The Organised Housewife Shop that are sourced from farms around the globe and purchased directly from the growers themselves where ever possible. Our collection of essential oils and blends are 100% Pure & Certified Organic as we are committed to providing ethically sourced pure essential oils. 

About Grapefruit Essential Oil

Grapefruit Essential Oil is described as an energising aroma, due to it’s fun, floral and invigorating aroma. It is known for it’s clarifying effects and ability to uplift mood. It can be used in skin products to promote healthy looking skin and dim blemishes. It is also used when people are looking to lose weight due to an active ingredient found in Grapefruit that supports healthy metabolism and reduces appetite.

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
