3-4 drops to your diffuser.

Internal:

Dilute 1 drop in 4 fl. oz. of water/liquid

Because Grapefruit oil has many of the same properties as the other citrus oils it can be used in their place when immediate exposure in the sun is unavoidable.

Neat – undiluted but always check to be sure you don’t have any skin sensitivities

Dilute with children, infants and elderly

**** I will only use dōTERRA essential oils internally and it is advisable to work with a dōTERRA Wellness Advocate before using any oils internally.
