Now that the weather is finally warming up and we're starting to wear lighter clothes people's minds often tend to turn to those extra pesky pounds accumulated during the cooler months.
We all know how big 'weight loss' products are here in North America and I'm not suggesting that we put essential oils into this category. What I am suggesting is that essential oils can be incorporated into your overall weight loss program to help one keep on track and achieve one's goals. For a successful weight loss program one will always need to incorporate the two key elements of good nutrition and exercise. However there are many different reasons why we put on weight, and when there is an emotional element underlying this weight gain, if we truly want to take the weight off and keep it off we need to address the emotions. Essential oils can certainly help us do that. You can read more in my little article on Essential Oils and Weight Loss on the website. You will also find a couple of blends for emotional eating and a couple of blends for appetite suppressants on the web site Blends for Weight Loss. You will find mini profiles for many of the oils mentions on the Articles Page on the web site.
My own challenges with weight gain can have an emotional component to them, but I find that once that has resolved if I'm not careful my extra eating becomes simply a habit. My occasional after dinner treat of a chocolate bar, doesn't always stay occasional. I find when I'm busy and not really paying attention it can become an every night routine, and then a habit which is more difficult to break. I'm no longer eating or snacking for comfort, simply because it's a habit. Sniffing my inhaler of peppermint can be enough to help me break the habit. If you don't have access to personal inhalers, just put a drop or two on a tissue or cotton ball and have it ready for sniffing as needed.
My diffuser blend for today: Lavender 3 drops, Bergamot 2 drops, Rosalina 1 drop.
