Using Essential Oils for Weight Health

The Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Institute of Chicago found that inhaling an aroma throughout the day can inhibit your desire to eat. In his study, Dr. Hirsch found that the more people used scent to control their appetite, the more weight they lost.

He concluded that the human brain shuts down hunger when exposed to specific scents. When the brain signals being full or a sense of being satisfied, we stop eating. This mechanism is triggered by the sense of smell.

Emotional states can trigger desire for food, too. Emotional food cravings and feelings can be controlled by inhaling certain essential oils.

The sense of smell helps increase or decrease appetite and calms irrational emotional responses to food. And it can give us control, instead of depending solely on our willpower.

Especially relevant is the study conclusion that it is important to change the essential oils used on a daily basis. This prevents the nose from becoming desensitized and thereby reducing the effectiveness of the inhaled essential oils.

Use Essential Oils to Stop Irrational Hunger 

Choose up to three essential oils for weight loss and appetite control to use daily.* Dab one to three drops of each one of the selected oils on the cotton ball. Hold it near your nose and inhale.

If you feel the need for a stronger scent, hold the cotton ball closer to your nose.

The more often these oils are used, the more effective they will be at curbing the appetite and calming emotions.* Each day change the essential oils and use different ones than those used the day before.

Recommended Essential Oils for Weight Loss

• Grapefruit: A natural weight loss appetite suppressant. It can be diluted with a carrier oil and massaged onto the skin, bypassing the digestive tract and entering the bloodstream. In the body it dissolves fat by a process called lipolysis.*
• Bergamot: Stimulates the endocrine system and thereby increases metabolism. It also creates a sense of calmness and well being.*
• Combine Lavender with Bergamot to enhance calming effects.*
• Tangerine: Water loss and cellulite reduction is possible using tangerine diluted onto the skin because tangerine is a diruetic.*
• Orange: Helps overcome depression and gives emotional support. It also has a calming impact on the nervous system.*
• Ylang ylang: Assists with feeling well and calm; reduces impulses.*
• Peppermint. Peppermint provides unique weight loss benefits and is a great oil to begin your weight loss journey. Peppermint also helps with digestive problems.*

Dr . Alan Hirsch’s study found that inhaling Peppermint essential oil can directly affect your brain’s satiety center, the ventro-medial nucleus of the hypothalamus. This powerful essential oil makes you feel full after a meal. The result is that you can eat less and still feel satisfied. Inhale peppermint oil before a meal.

Essential oils are a natural way to suppress appetite and calm emotions as they relate to food and stress.* Reaching and maintaining your ideal weight are very important steps toward achieving vibrant health.
