Grapefruit Essential Oil can help you lose weight

Sonia Jones ND from the Haven Spa and Health Clinic

Researchers discovered something interesting about the essential oil of grapefruit. We all know aromas/smells can affect our appetite – encouraging it or curbing it. Several trials with people, have shown that that inhaling grapefruit essential oil over time helped to curb their appetite and they generally ate less and lost more weight than those who did not inhale the aromas. We have grapefruit essential oil at The Haven.

To use  – you need to place 2 to 3 drops of the oil onto a piece of cotton, inhale slowly and exhale for about 30 to 60 seconds whenever you feel the need, in trials it seemed to help people curb cravings, compared to those who didn’t use the essential oil. You could use this method just before your danger times – 4.00 in the afternoon, after dinner avoiding that dessert, or snacking in front of the TV, whatever happens to be your weak point. This is only help as part of a larger program.
