Grapefruit

GRAPEFRUIT essential oil is cleansing, decongesting and purifying. It helps to break down fats and promotes lymphatic drainage. GRAPEFRUIT with cypress, rosemary and juniper can dissolve cellulite.

GRAPEFRUIT and all citrus oils are effective for depression. Try a blend of GRAPEFRUIT, tangerine, mandarin orange, bergamot, lemon with an added drop of rose geranium to soothe, nurture and uplift.

For each blend above, use 1 drop of each oil together with 2 tablespoons of carrier oil.

GRAPEFRUIT is an effective astringent and is very useful for oily skin and acne. Try a blend of GRAPEFRUIT with tea tree oil, lemongrass, lavender and/or roman chamomile. Add 1 drop of one or more of these essential oils to 4 oz. of witch hazel. Shake well before each use. Dab a cotton ball and gently wipe skin.

CAUTIONS: If you are PREGNANT, consult your physician. Most CITRUS oils are PHOTOTOXIC. You must stay out of the sun for 12 hours after applying to the skin.

Pink Roses Aromatherapy is one of the fastest growing industries in the new millennium, gaining wide popularity in the United States. From scented candles to fragrant massage oils to hydrating skin care to scented bath & shower products, as well as their healing properties, aromatherapy has captured the attention of the American public.

Most of what is written about aromatherapy is the physiological effect of the chemical constituents of the essential oils of plant material. However, essential oils can also cleanse, release and balance thoughts and emotions, and open pathways to higher consciousness. And yet the effect of essential oils on the mind, emotions, and spirit is the direct result of their ability to physiologically change the central nervous system and key brain centers.

Subtle Aromatherapy is intended to affect the mental, emotion and spiritual aspects of the individual, addressing issues such as healthy lifestyle, stress relief, promoting relaxation, mental focus & clarity, fatigue, depression, meditation and exploring higher states of consciousness. Essential oils are applied therapeutically by trained professionals to nourish the mind, emotions and spirit. as well as the physical body. And only essential oils of the purest, highest frequency can be used. These essential oils are called THERAPEUTIC-GRADE essential oils.
