Grapefruit (Citrus Paradisi) seeds contain organic salicylic acid, which dissolves inorganic calcium in the body. The fruit and its parts have been used to treat herpes, acne, dandruff, and other skin problems.
In South America, Citrus Paradisi seeds are used in water to destroy bacteria and in weight-reduction capsules. Grapefruit is also indicated in cases of obesity, gallstones, fevers, pneumonia, and poor digestion.
Citrus Paradisi Seed Extract is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in water in any proportion.
