Been collecting info on this subject - would love your input - good or bad!  ~

The Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Institute of Chicago found that inhaling a culinary scent (Basil, Oregano, Lemon, etc.) regularly throughout the day, especially when hungry can suppress the desire to taste and therefore eat. By inhaling an aroma six times in each nostril, the desire to eat is inhibited. Dr. Hirsch in his research found that sniffing three times in each nostril was sufficient. If the scent is not adequately smelled, it can increase the desire to eat so it is important to smell the oil deeply and as many times as suggested. They also found that the oils should be changed daily for the best effect. We are naturally attracted to different smells and tastes each day and eating the same foods again and again leads to feelings of deprivation which is the most important cause of failure of most diets. Cheating on a diet could just be another way to increase variety in the diet. Dr. Hirsch in his study also found that you could not smell too much. In fact, the more people that used scent to control their appetite, the more weight they lost in his study.

 

Which scents to use

Most people tend to prefer sweet smells. Chocolate fragrance creates serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is linked with cravings for sweets.  Banana, green apples, and peppermint were found to be most successful. The flower and medicinal smelling oils were least effective. The oils associated with cooking or culinary herbs were best.

Essential Oils to use:

Basil

Cassia

Cilantro

Cinnamon

Clove Bud

Coriander

Ginger

Grapefruit

Lemon

Marjoram

Orange

Peppermint

Rosemary

Thyme

Wintergreen

How to use the essential oils to control appetite

Choose three or more essential oils to use through out your day. Make sure that you carry them on you or keep them close by. The more you use them; the more effective they will be. Each day change the oils you used previously with three new ones. When you find you are tempted, you feel hungry, or beginning to eat a meal, just open the bottle and take at least three whiffs in each nostril. Breath as deeply as you can especially with the one nostril that is partially closed. Put the cap back on. You do not want to diffuse or use in the space constantly as you become used to the smell and it is not as effective. The goal here is not to eat, but to eat when you want and how much you want easily and comfortably.

Ayurveda and Body Types

Dr. Light Miller in her book, Ayurveda and Aromatherapy, does a lovely job of explaining how Ayurveda medicine classifies people into doshas or body types. There are three main ones called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. They combine into seven mixed types and most people can find themselves within these different types. What is of most interest to us is the Kapha type.

Kaphas tend to have large bodies with heavy bone structure and slow metabolism. They also tend to have large foreheads, large liquid eyes, and large teeth. They tend to gain weight easily and often have problems with sugar and are prone to diabetes. The philosophy in Ayruvedic medicine says that these doshas can become imbalanced and the person tends to become ill or show signs of the imbalance. Weight gain can be one of those signs for imbalanced Kapha. Dr. Light Miller has listed several oils to correct a Kapha imbalance. She says that the warming and drying oils are best for Kaphas and help to bring this dosha into balance.

Birch

Cinnamon

Clary Sage

Clove

Cypress

Eucalyptus

Orange

Oregano

Rosemary

Thyme

 

How to use the oils

Dr. Miller suggests using a bath of 5 drops cypress and 5 drops orange to help water retention. You can use the above oils to create other baths. Use Dr. Miller's bath as a guide for the number of drops to use.

When Massaging Kaphas, the essential oils need to be mixed with a fixed or vegetable oil like fractionated coconut oil, jojoba, sweet almond, or your own skin cream or lotion. Kapha skin requires the smallest amount of fixed oil for the skin. I oz of fixed oil to 15 drops of birch, clary sage, cypress, orange, rosemary, eucalyptus,

This formula will help relieve edema and increase circulation.

Cellulite Control

Cellulite is real and affects women. It is a fat condition, but there is a puckering associated with this fat and it is sometimes called orange peel skin. Cellulite tends to mean that the person is sedentary with a poor lymphatic system and sluggish elimination so that the body stores toxins that it is unable to eliminate and the toxins go into the fat. It is not just a beauty issue. Ridding the body of cellulite will not only allow the person to be thinner but healthier.

1. Drink plenty of water
2. Eat simple nourishing foods about 1200 calories per day. Include in your day's allowance of food 1 each of Orange, Apple, Tomato and Carrot to encourage good elimination. Eat several vegetable servings, a giant salad and vegetable or animal protein once a day.
3. Lemon & Peppermint EO in every glass of water you drink.
4.Take daily Aromatherapy Cellulite baths.
5. Scrub and rub the cellulite deposits daily with a loofah or hemp brush." Massage oils into skin from formula below.

Cellulite Baths:

Fill the tub with warm water. Add a cup of apple cider vinegar. In a separate bottle, measure out these essential oils. Enter the bath and add the essential oils making sure that you disperse them with your hand well. Soak for approximately 30 minutes. You may need to have some olive oil to add to the water or your skin if it tingles or burns.
