Duos~ They go together like:
Fred & Ginger… Peanut Butter & Jelly… Leather & Lace
Solo features~ Spotlight performances like:
Sir Anthony Hopkins.. Judy Garland, Tony Bennett.. Audrey Hepburn; known best on their own.
BOTH Grapefruit and Indian Basil are a fantastic duo and splendid as a solo act. AWESOME either way.
GRAPEFRUIT~ out of the bottle is a straight up giggle. A strong whiff and the smile comes across your cheeks. The tangy fresh citrus aroma is packed with D-limonene, which I find interesting as the ultimate germ killer. How about emotional germs, they too are ‘infecting’ our thoughts and can act like a mental virus. There are notable ‘feelings of goodness along with pain relieving’ attributes that create this happy ambiance. The physical response is an example of how it soothes overworked muscles that are cramped or strained. Add it to your cleaning products and your massage blends. BE AWARE Grapefruit oil is phototoxic. This means there can be a reaction to sunlight which can cause blistering and burning with direct application. Keep the ratio to less than 24 drops per 1 oz. of carrier (lotion, oil or hydrosol). A perfect oil to add to mental balance or immune supporting inhalers. Grapefruit is cold pressed from the fruit rind.
BASIL~ is a fresh herbal aroma with a little earth spice. Indian Basil, featured, is different from Holy Basil aka Tulsi. Basil is used to keep things going.. This makes it helpful for digestion AND mental stimulation. We can get emotionally stuck and Basil can give us a sisterly nudge that it’ll get better as we get moving along. We hold emotional stress in the body; try using Basil in an inhaler or topical blend to unwind knots, relieve nausea, therefore releasing physical and emotional tension. It’s steam distilled from the flowering tops and leaves.
