Sniff your way to diet success

Shed pounds the alternative way

If conventional diets have failed you and you're still struggling to lose weight, then perhaps you need to look at what you ‘sniff' rather than what you eat

According to Amphora Aromatics the scent of key blends of essential oils can help weight loss by working to reduce or regulate appetite. A cheap, safe and enjoyable route to weight loss.

Aromatherapist Eugeny Couture has developed the following advice for any would be dieter who wants to keep those hunger cravings a bay.

  • Keep a bottle of Grapefruit oil in your handbag and take 3 to 5 deep breathes of it at least 6 times a day to regulate your appetite.

  • Use a combination of the following oils in a burner: 4 drops of Mandarin, 3 drops of Bergamot, 2 Clove, 1 Cinnamon, 1 Chamomile.

  • Add two handfuls of Epsom salts to a hot bath infused with 5 drops of Juniperberry and 3 drops of Grapefruit. You can also add 2 drops of Lavender.

  • If you enjoy having a massage, change the oil you use to this appetite suppressing blend:

  • 40ml of Sweet Almond oil, 4 drops of Rosemary, 4 drops of Fennel, 3 drops of Juniper, 3 drops of Grapefruit, 2 drops of Rose Geranium.

Eugeny Couture comments: "Essential oils have a huge influence in our daily lives. They can enhance our mood, help us relax and unwind or focus our concentration, so it makes total sense that they can help us lose weight too.

"Of course healthy eating and exercise remain crucial to any weight loss programme, but, by harnessing the power of scent we can reduce the common hunger pangs that can throw us off track and even result in us breaking the diet completely.

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in various parts of plants from their roots to their fruits. These compounds are often wonderfully fragrant.

The oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. And today, as modern scientific thinking leans towards a more holistic approach to wellness, essential oils are once again being recognised for the multitude of benefits they can offer.
