Stress is a natural part of life, but chronic stress can have a damaging effect on mental and physical health. Red Grapefruit essential oil contains powerful compounds that are known to help reduce stress levels by calming the mind and improving mood. To use grapefruit oil for its stress-reducing benefits, mix 4–6 drops in your diffuser with water or add it to an aromatherapy blend to make an essential oil blend room spray. Alternatively, you can also create a massage blend by adding several drops of grapefruit oil to a carrier like jojoba oil and rubbing it on your skin until absorbed.

To make a natural cleaner, combine 1 cup of water with 15–20 drops of grapefruit essential oil in a spray bottle and shake it to mix. Use the mixture to clean surfaces around your home. For added effectiveness, add a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice to the mixture before spraying.

Toothache Remedy

It numbs nerves, which helps you to get immediate relief. You can also add several drops of red grapefruit essential oil to your toothpaste when brushing your teeth so that its powerful antibacterial qualities and pleasant scent help keep your breath fresh and protect against tooth decay.
