The Grapefruit (Citrus Paradisi) was first noticed in Barbados in 1750; by 1880, it had become an important commercial crop in Florida. Grapefruit is a good source of flavonoids, water-soluble fibers, potassium, vitamin C, and folic acid.
Citrus Paradisi can be used externally as a facial cleanser, scalp treatment, and anti-fungal wash for the skin and nails. Grapefruit is a natural antiseptic for wounds when used externally.
Citrus Paradisi preparations are indicated in cases of obesity, sluggish liver, gall stones, catarrh, fevers, pneumonia, poor digestion, and poor complexion. They are also valuable as drug poison eliminators.
