HISTORY

Grapefruit, often referred to as 'the forbidden fruit was first discovered in 1750 on the island of Barbados found to be a combination of pomelo and sweet orange or a hybrid of the two. It was not classified as its own species until 1837.

Studies have found that grapefruit aromatherapy resulted in a decreased food intake, an increase in breaking down fats, and the production of heat from within the body; all of which led to weight loss. Today it is often used to help with metabolism, depression, energy, and positivity.
