Can Slim & Sassy Oil Be Used While On Valium?
I am wondering if an essential oil blend called slim and sassy which has grapefruit peel oil in it will interact with valium. Valium says not to take with grape fruit. But is the actual interaction with the pulp of the fruit or juice, while I am wanting to take the peel oil. Is there a difference? What type or amount of interaction should I be aware of?

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Valium should not be taken along with grapefruit juice/pulp.
This is because grapefruit increases the effect of valium causing increased sedation, confusion, seizures and even breathing difficulty.
Hope this answers your question
