Weight Management

Do you diffuse or directly inhale essential oils?

If so, you know that they can help with weight management.  They have an immediate positive impact on moods and appetite. How many times have you ate because you were mad, sad, anxious or bored? Olfaction (the sense of smell) is the only sense that can have a direct effect on the limbic region of the brain. Studies at the University of Vienna have shown that some essential oils and their primary constituents can stimulate blood flow and activity in the emotional centers of the brain.

We know that the aroma of essential oils can penetrate the amygdala in the center of the brain. So, frequent inhalation can significantly reduce appetite. Another thing we know is that studies have shown dramatic weight loss in research subjects using peppermint oil and vanilla absolute to curb food cravings.
