Essential Oils Not Citrus

In this chapter, we'll discuss essential oils that aren't particularly citrusy and how they can aid in the removal of excess fat tissues from our bodies.

SPICY MINT. There is a part of your brain that alerts you to the fact that your stomach is already full of your mother's special meatloaf and cannot hold any more of it. But occasionally, or should I say frequently, we choose to disregard what our brains are telling us and pay attention to our eyes and taste receptors when they urge us to consume more. In order to get your brain to keep telling you that you are indeed full, peppermint specifically affects that area of your brain.

Most importantly, peppermint tastes fantastic and will enable you to offer your loved someone a minty fresh kiss.

Put a few drops of peppermint essential oil on a cotton pad or clean cloth before you eat anything, and slowly inhale the vapors. The drops can also be placed in a diffuser, which you can use to inhale to suppress your appetite. A drop of peppermint oil can also be added to a glass of water for a cool beverage before each meal. For the best invigorating and weight-loss results, combine it with lemon as well.

The SANDALWOOD. Additionally, tranquil and calming sandalwood essential oils will help you restrain your eating when faced with stressful circumstances.

Apply virgin olive oil directly to your feet or stomach to promote quicker absorption. Alternatively, you can take it by mixing a drop of sandalwood essential oil with a teaspoon of honey, just like you would any other medication. By adding a drop of the sandalwood oil to a small glass of rice milk, you can also create a delectable beverage.

TO GINGER. The humble ginger is well known for being stomach-friendly in Asian cuisine. This gently sweet and spicy spice gives Asian cuisine its distinctive flavor. But the fact that it makes food taste great is not the only reason it is stomach-friendly. Because of its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial characteristics, which keep the stomach healthy and in top condition, it is also beloved by your stomach.

Due to its moderate spice, ginger also has a warming impact on the body, energizing the entire body, but especially the nervous system. As it emits a gentle heat that awakens our inner strength, ginger essential oil has been dubbed the "oil of empowerment," revitalizing and empowering the body and the mind.

Put a few drops of ginger essential oil in a diffuser and inhale the vapors as you would any other essential oil we have already mentioned to get the full benefits.

To determine if you are sensitive to it or not, you can perform a skin test by applying it to your forearm first.

CORN NUTS. All the other essential oils you have read about in this book are known to be more helpful at helping people lose weight when combined with cinnamon. Diabetes sufferers might take solace in the knowledge that cinnamon has been shown to stimulate normal insulin levels in the body. Additionally, it enhances blood circulation and digestion. Its anti-oxidant qualities aid in gently cleansing the body and boosting the immune system so that it can combat intruders that try to spread colds and the flu to us.

A pleasantly spicy and musky aroma can be detected in cinnamon essential oil that is extracted through steam distillation from cinnamon leaves and twigs. In aromatherapy, cinnamon is fantastic. However, aromatherapy does not frequently use cinnamon oil extracted from cinnamon bark. Because cinnamon essential oils are pleasantly spicy, like ginger essential oils, they warm the body and combat fatigue and despair by empowering the body.

You can use aromatherapy to reduce tension and calm you down by adding a few drops of cinnamon essential oil to burners or vaporizers to be inhaled slowly. As you soak away your anxieties, you can also dilute the oil in your bathwater. Because of the antibacterial qualities of cinnamon oil, you can also simultaneously fight off any external infections while soaking in your water-infused with cinnamon bath.
