What is the dosage of grapefruit essential oil for internal use?

Hi, I have read everything you have described regarding the uses of grapefruit essential oil ; my attention focused on the fact that it can be used to control nervous hunger , so I immediately went to the herbalist’s shop to buy it. The expert advised me to take one drop at the three main meals with a hint of honey . I wanted to know if this dosage is right. More than nervous hunger I think I’m bulimic … thanks in advance for your answer. Kind regards Mary

the dosage that they recommended is correct and it is also right to convey them with honey or for those who are vegan, with cereal malt, as essential oils can irritate the mucous membranes, which is why you must not exceed the recommended dosages, personally I did not know this use of grapefruit , but oils are an ever-evolving fantastic world I recommend to my patients with nervous hunger the use of gel-forming fibers, such as alginates agar oat agar etc and something that works on the re-uptake of serotonin, that is plants that maintain the longer serotonin is available, the neurotransmitter of serenity

Well, nervous hunger means one thing, bulimia quite another. In the second case the situation is serious and cannot be expected to be solved with a tampon, however adequate as already mentioned here by others, such as Essential Oil. Bulimia requires deep work on awareness that is typical of the relationship with a psychotherapist, possibly integrated with natural supports. If it is a nervous hunger that is associated with a slight overweight, the underlying problem is anxiety and a probable dependent relational style that is easily dealt with. Reducing the level of anxiety is the first step to understanding what unmet need is covered by the wrong eating behavior.

In order not to stimulate the desire for food, I advise you to dilute the drop of grapefruit EO in a cup of tea without sugar …

Hi Mary the first question that arises spontaneously is tell me about your type of hunger …. describe me what happens to you. The second thing I think is essential for doing aromatherapy is: do you know the chemotype of the essential oil they sold you? Essential oils are among the most powerful remedies! Answering your question, Citrus paradisi works on the endocrine system by being a regulator of metabolism and hunger (excess bulimia in the absence of anorexia). The dosage of 1 drop in correspondence with the 3 meals on bread or honey is correct. If the oil is of quality, that does not mean that it has the word “natural” on the bottle, but it is confirmed by the chemotype of the oil and it is essential to extract an essence that can be “safely” ingested, used for smelling or for topical use. Essential oils work on three physical, psychic and subtle levels. By ingestion it works mainly on the physical level and secondarily on the other two aspects. I would advise you to reinforce the work on the psyche, also adding aromatherapy treatments by diffusion. The molecules of Citrus paradisi by olfaction act on the hypothalamus.
