Try Aromatherapy For Weight Control

Here’s the scenario: You turn the page of the calendar and realize you’re weeks away from a much-anticipated getaway that involves a bit more skin-baring than usual. No need to panic: Buckle down on your resolution to move more, and reach for these nine essential oils to battle food cravings that can derail a clean-eating plan.

Aromatherapy provides balance to your wellness regime, whether it is a natural boost to flagging energy or a soothing relief from anxiety. But aromatics can also offer appetite suppressing properties for those times when stress (or boredom) sends us to the cabinet in search of comfort food.

Begin your morning with energizing essential oils that will set an uplifting tone for the day while stealthily battling that too-busy habit of grabbing “whatever” for breakfast. Start by inhaling the crisp, sweet citrus scent of essential oil of Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi). This essential oil contains a natural compound, nootkatone, which scientists cite for controlling metabolism. Carry a vial with you for a quick sniff whenever hunger looms.
