Pink Grapefruit Essential Oils
A grapefruit, also known as the forbidden fruit or Shaddock, is known to be a hybrid between two fruit: An orange of course and a pomelo. The term “grapefruit” comes from its similarities to grapes that grow in clusters. Many believe grapefruits originated in Asia around the 1700s. I tried to find someone that still around from that time to confirm this but couldn’t so we’ll hope the Google University is correct. Anyways, There is a famous story about a gentleman name Captain Shaddock who traveled to the West Indies, Barbados to be specific. [ Full made up story below ]. Grapefruit was one of about 14 different type of citrus seeds he carried with him. Today, grapefruits are grown mainly in Mexico outside the United States but a majority can be found being grown in Texas and Florida.
“Looking far into the ocean, from the beautiful tan sand of Barbados, is the triangular shaped figure, heading towards inland. Its a fleet of ships, some of which has never been seen before by the natives. As the leading ship docks ashore, a gentleman with an eye patch arise in the sunset from the cabin beneath and steps on the rocky shore.
His comrades carried a treasure chest with some gleaming items which brings the natives to curiosity. The natives called their head leader who was wrestling with his child to come inquire as to who is invading their land..
It was Captain Shaddock !!
Barbados was known to carry the Special Pearls which creates an essence of oils called ”Aurora With Bae” and “Dreams Of Utopia” ( which is also sold by Tranqwool ) and the captain brought his best treasure to trade for it. Inside the treasure chest were these shining reddish yellowing orangish dragon balls they acquired after defeating a dragon in Asia a few month back.
The natives were no amateurs when it came to defending their land against unfamiliar faces. They were known to be confident with their spears in hand and look at trouble in the eye, even if its only one eye.. ( get it ?!?! one eye, Captain Shaddock only had one eye !!! )
War was ready to break out !! Swords drawn, spears sharpened, drums are beating, adrenaline is rushing through the veins of every living soul !!
Before the battle can begin, they realized they had matching pants !! But even more so, they both had something each other wanted so they decided on a peaceful barter system. I mean who wants to fight someone wearing matching pants ? This was going to be a trade for the history books that would never be written. Dragon balls were special since they had special mood balancing effects and anti depressant powers. The Natives called the special balls “The Forbidden Fruit” but the Captain with his ego called it “The Shaddack” !! This was the first time ever there was a peaceful trade amongst two strange acquaintances that didn’t result in violent tactics.”
Grapefruit is normally very bitter and sweet at the same time. The color can range anywhere from white to yellow to pink to red. They’re normally bigger than an orange and look extremely identical from the outside but from the inside, its rather easy to tell the difference. The taste on the other hand can be similar to a pomelo, so I’ve heard.
Now to the cool stuff !! 😎 Grapefruit has many benefits. Studies at Google University has shown that there are effects in balancing mood and relieving anxiety. This is possibly due to a component in the oil called limonene. Limonene may be found in most citrus essential oil peels and has been used to promote weight loss, prevent and treat cancer and also as flavoring for food, beverages and chewing gum. This component in the grapefruit essential oil helps promote weight loss as well as suppress appetite. So for those trying to fit in that dress… lets move on.
Grapefruit Essential oil is derived from the peel of the fruit which means it has acidic properties. This gives the added benefit of being used as an odor eliminator when used in a diffuser, but also has antibacterial effects towards bacteria that cause stomach ulcers, acne and other stuff. Grapefruit essential oil can be found in many soaps and lotion due to its refreshing citrus scent and antibacterial properties and its very good in providing fresh healthy skin but you must be careful when applying it directly to the skin. Its always recommended to use a carrier oil to dilute it and even after, 4 to 12 hours may be suitable before going out in the sun.
Ingestion of grapefruit essential oil should be done “Extremely Responsibly” which may include speaking to a professional chemist or doctor who can tell you how to properly use it. A few drops has been known to be added in tea, smoothies and other beverages that help promote wellness on a daily basis.

How Essential Oils Are Made: The method and the process.
Proud alumi, Graduated with honors in scrolling for information !!
Everything has a process. I, Peter Noel, alumni at the University of Google had to go though a process to learn how essential oils are derived. This was important to me because understanding brings value. The lack of understanding brings deception. Its one thing to have the knowledge of anything but understanding is what allows you to have the preferred perception. Everyone “knows” I have graduated with honors at the University of Google ( degree at scrolling the to find information ) which is why able to provide this wonderful information but understanding teaches you my goal is simply to bring value to your your life that you may find peace within. With that said, lets talk about Essential oils.

Essential oils are natural oils that are derived from plants and fruits. These oils carry the scents and flavors, also know as the essence, of the fruit or plants. The method that is used to get the oil is known as Extraction. The word extraction means to get out or to draw out which is the whole point of what needs to be done to get the oil from its source. There may be other methods but extraction is the most common. Although we are focusing on one method, theres different process that used to extract the oils.
Steam Distilled
Extraction for Plants
The most common process used for plants is Steam Distililation. Steam distillation is is using steam to remove the aromatic compounds from plants. Heat steam is applied to the plant along side of pressure forcing the oils to be released from the protective sacs. That eventually becomes liquids where it can be separated, leaving the oil.
Cold Press
Extraction for For Citrus fruits
Another is called Cold Press or Expression. Cold press is mostly on citrus fruits. It doesn’t require any heat. Instead, it focuses more using mechanical pressure in order to extract the oil from the rinds of the fruit.
These methods are very specific according to how they’re used. According to doTERRA, “ Proper distillation requires a consideration for the uniqueness of pressure, temperature, and harvesting practices, each of which may be as diverse as the plants themselves. A poor distillation process can alter or destroy the necessary compounds that comprise the essential oil, leaving a substance far different from the intended goal and something not be used to support health and wellness. “
This was just a basic overview of how essential oils come to be. My goal one day is to visit the actual distilleries and walk you through the process which I think is nothing shy of amazing !! Until then visit our website and stay tuned for more blogs about the oil at www.Tranqwool.com

Why Not Essential Oils ?
My first encounter with a diffuser was back in 2017. I was working as an electrician on the TWA hotel in New York as it was going up from the ground. There were no elevators so everything had to be carried up the stairs everyday. The work had a dramatic effect on my body, especially since it was in the blistering cold !! I decided to take care of my body since I don’t have kids yet so I went to see a chiropractor. This is where my life changed. I walked into a room that had the lights slightly dimmed, soft instrumental music and a sweet aroma of of what I remember was lavender. I inquired about the smell and the doctor informed me on this object in the room that was changing color and had steam coming out. So I started my interrogation.
Essential oils are what we would consider the main foundation for aromatherapy. They are natural oils that directly derived from plants fruits and nuts. Essential oils have many benefits and I will list a few. As per healthline.com,
Peppermint can be used to boost energy.
Lavender can be used to help relieve stress.
Sandalwood can be used to calm nerves and helps with focus.
Bergamot can be used to reduce stress and improve skin conditions.
Rosemary can improve your mood and reduce anxiety.
Chamomile is great for relaxation.
There are many other ways you can use essential oils as well. For example, rodents do not like the smell of peppermint so a few drops in a bucket with water after you mop your floor will surely keep them away and out. Lemon ( or most citrus ) can be used as odor eliminators. I’ve tried these myself and yes they work !!
With all this said, my goal wasn’t to become your therapist or your natural/organic doctor. That is why I focus more on fragrance oils. Being able to create memories, trigger positive moods and set vibes using your desired scent, to me is more of a sense of art that shouldn’t be ignored. Fragrance oils linger much longer than essential oils, can be more or less potent than essential oils, and where there has been about 90 settled on natural essential oils, there are over 2000 scents of fragrance oils !! Neither one is better than the other, it just depends on your preference. Personally, I recommend them both.
Lastly, this I must say and it goes for both essential oils and fragrance oils. Too much of anything is no good for your health !!! Oil diffuser are designed to have certain run times. Be mindful how long your diffuser is running with the amount of drops you put in. The longer you want to run your diffuser, while you’re there, the less drops you should put in. Stay tuned for the next time with more from Tranqwool.
Why Fragrance Oils: Part 1
So many people want to know ideally what are fragrance oils. I’ll make it simple. Fragrance oils, also known assented oils, are a combination of different oils used to make up a particular scent. Fragance oils are man made. That subject in high school that many had a love-hate relationship with actually came into use. Chemist in a lab somewhere have derived some type of scientific method on how to recreate scents using chemicals. This is important because many people love the smells so much they want to put it on their body as perfume. For the record, I am no perfumer, I am no expert in making fragrance oils, I’m just a person who has a passion for sweet smelling aromatic environments and doing research so I’ll give you my tips on using fragrance oils.
Most soaps, shampoo, perfume, cologne, lotions, hand sanitizers, detergents, wipes, some lip balms, and many other products use fragrance oils to get their smell. It’s no secret. You put soap and body wash on your body, you use detergent to clean your clothes so it’s safe to say fragrance oils “can” be used on the skin- but let me be clear. In everything, moderation is key. Who ever makes these products know how much to use. Moderation is key and unless specified, it’s not “recommended” to apply directly to the skin.
Fragrance oils are very potent and the smell can last very long. Once again, they are chemically made so they are designed to have that benefit. This makes them perfect for aromatherapy, specifically aromatic diffusers because you want the smells to last as long as possible.
Fragrance oils do not have major effects on the body, Disclaimer; too much of anything is never good. When using oils in diffusers, always measure using drops. Two or three drops can be more than you think depending on the size of the room. Essential oils are derived mainly from plants and sometimes fruits or nuts depending on the oil and have actual benefits to the physical body. There will be a more detailed blog on this coming soon. Example, eucalyptus oil is good for skin care, respiratory system, decongestion, and many other benefits to the body. Adding this oil in a diffuser is awesome but once the diffuser stops running, the aroma will only last maybe an hour or two. Eucalyptus fragrance oils will not give you these benefits but can last 4 to 8 or even 12 hours..
To keep this blog short, we’ll list more benefits of fragrance oils as well as essential oils in the next blogs to come. Part 2 will be my story. Stay tuned !!
