Aromatherapy and Weight Loss

Weight loss is a complexundertaking.

No one essential oil will do it all for you.

Essential oils can do two things forweight loss:

1. Help curb appetite2. Help break down adipose (body fat) and cellulite tissue

If you are willing to look at your

lifestyle, habits and addictions --

and create self awareness --

the aromas can help you

achieve your goal.

Weight management can be a

lifelong challenge,

but short-term results are

possible.

Let’s start by using essential oils to curb the appetite.

Many essential oils have an appetite- reducing effect:

All citrus and mint oils, as well as Sweet Fennel, Juniper, Cypress and Petitgrain,and surprisingly Black Pepper.

I designed two essential oil synergies:

1.Moderation of Appetite

2.Quit Craving

Quit Craving is also available in a

Roll-On Relief version.

You can use these synergies in

your diffuser over long periods of

time.

They will help reduce your

appetite.

Whenever the urge to eat something (or to smoke something, for that matter) comes up,

I recommend to sit down, close the eyes, and feel where in your body the urge sits.

Most commonly, it is somewhere in the chest area.

Take the bottle and sniff the aroma.

Take the scent to the place in your

body where the urge sits.

It may take several minutes to dispel

and heal the urge.

Continue until the experience of

the scent has completely filled

the area, and the experience of

the urge in your mind-body has

dissipated.

You will transform your

mind-body this way.

Use the Quit Craving Roll-On

Relief in a similar way.

Roll it generously over the area

where you located the imbalance.

Stay with it until the scent

transforms it.

On the other hand, the spicy

essential oils increase appetite:

Be careful with

Ginger, Cinnamon, etc.

Topological Application

Over Adipose and Cellulite Areas

Essential oils can help break down

adipose tissue and cellulite.

Juniper and Cypress are the mostuseful, as well as Atlas Cedar.

For cellulite, use the same oils along with Eucalyptus Citriodora and Mastique.

These help to eliminate toxins from the tissue and help move the lymph system.
