In the United States, obesity is rapidly growing as a major
disease. It is beyond surprise that more than half of the
population in the country is overweight and the rate is still
increasing. Obesity or overweight has many reasons to grow but
on the other hand there are only a few methods to bring the
weight under control. Moreover, the success of such methods
differs from person to person and most of the time comes under
the scanner.

You may have heard about acupuncture weight loss and are having
trouble believing that sticking needles in someone’s body, the
traditional image conjured up when someone says acupuncture
weight loss, could ever help them lose weight.

Well, maybe your scepticism is born from the fact that you
don’t know all of the elements involved in acupuncture weight
loss treatments.

Acupuncture weight loss grew out of the millennium old Chinese
practice of acupuncture. While acupuncture weight loss has been
around for almost as long as acupuncture itself it only hit the
public consciousness in 2003.

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.
