- Every time I smell
grapefruit essential oil,
I am not surprised that its
Latin name is citrus paradisi,
it really does smell like
the fruit of paradise.
You know that bright sparkling aroma,
it's just truly inspiring to people,
it makes people smile, and
it can fill the atmosphere
with such a zesty kind of energy.
Grapefruit is perfect
for cleansing the air,
supporting immunity,
and it helps people feel
more vital and happy.
Hi, I'm Andrea Butje, Founder
of Aromahead Institute,
hanging out here with
my grapefruit, (laughs)
I just wondered if you knew
that the essential oil came
from the rind of the grapefruit,
and if you have a grapefruit around,
just scratch it with your
nail like that, (sniff)
and all the essential oil,
that's what you're smelling,
and that's what's distilled
in order to produce
the essential oil, just the rind.
So we're gonna make a
great room spritz today,
and this is called Citrus Paradise,
and it's so revitalizing,
it just has two essential oils in it,
it has, of course,
grapefruit essential oil
and it has a drop of geranium,
and that's a beautiful combination,
you get that touch of floral
and you get all the uplifting citrus.
Now I don't know about you, but sometimes
I just wanna make a really easy blend.
Two minutes to make it and I'm done,
and I spray it around the house,
and everything smells
amazing, that's this blend.
Okay, so I just put some distilled water
into this one ounce
spray bottle, it's glass,
and I'm going to put
five drops of grapefruit,
and one drop of geranium
right in the water, so simple.
So first we'll get our five drops,
there we go, five, perfect.
And then we'll get our
one drop of geranium,
and you know, if you
like two drops better,
that's fine too, try one and
see if it's enough for you,
and if not, you can always add a second.
I find this combination, five
to one, to be just perfect,
this is a brand new bottle of geranium,
it's just so vibrant.
All right, and that's the blend,
talk about easy, and then
I put my little spray top
on the bottle and give it a little shake,
every time I'm gonna use it
I give it a little shake,
now this will only last a couple of weeks
because there's no preservative in it,
so make it fresh every few weeks,
and then you can just spritz it
all around your house anywhere you like.
I hope you enjoy it and if you wanna learn
how to make more easy blends like this,
I have an introduction
to essential oils class
at Aromahead Institute and it's free,
so I'll put the link in
the description below,
you can just click on it,
sign up for the class,
and learn to make all kinds of fun blends.
Great, all right, have a
wonderful day, bye for now.
