Using only the very best essential oils for losing weight can involve aromatherapy, topical use, and best of all, internal use. While many brands don’t encourage, advise against, and flat-out dissuade from essential oils for internal use, it can be done safely. Ensure you’re using the highest quality of 100 percent pure essential oils that are food-grade and safe for consumption. Avoid at all costs essential oils labelled aromatherapy, fragrance, and perfume use only. When using oils topically and internally, you must immediately discontinue use if you experience: One more point to make. Many oils including citrus oils are photo-sensitive. So if you’re applying the oils topically, be sure to avoid direct sunlight for at least 12 hours after use. Many people raise an eyebrow when essential oils claim to aid in weight loss. The same way essential oils help to cure sickness, elevate moods, and restore organ function is the same way it helps to curb appetite cravings, balance hormones, and enhance metabolic processes. The botanical healing properties of essential oils is the root of its magic. Each oil contains unique and unadulterated properties that can support your weight loss efforts, encourage a clean diet, and motivate healthy life-changing habits. They can directly affect all parts of your life that includes mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical responses to the food you eat, the physical activities you participate in, and dealing with the stresses of life. While essential oils won’t give you overnight weight loss success, they can and do support your current weight reduction efforts. So if you’re already eating well, pounding the pavement, and pulling weights, you can help your body out with the properties it needs to achieve faster weight loss and to burn fat more effectively. Hormones have a lot to do with your weight loss goals. Rogue hormones can send you spiraling into an emotional depression which can cause you to overeat, not feel your best, and can make even minor stresses feel overwhelmingly exhausting, then taking a toll on your physical well-being. Needless to say, they can completely change your personality from cheery and bright to monstrously sensitive. Here’s a concoction to help reign in those naughty hormones so you can take charge of your weight loss! There’s no more free reign for hormones to pack on the pounds and unleash terror on your emotions and mental capacities. Mix everything together and put 8-10 drops in a capsule and take once daily. During times of stress or during menstruation, take twice daily. When it comes to weight loss, aromatic, topical, and internal use are all effective ways to get the revitalizing, energizing, and metabolic-stimulating benefits! While it can get complex using blends and tons of single oils, it can be simple and uncomplicated. Here’s the easy way to using single essential oils. Everyone has a human vibrational frequency that they emit. Your thoughts, actions, food, music, attitudes, and company you keep can affect your very being. With that being said, essential oils work more effectively the more highly vibrating you are. Weight loss is easier achieved when you’ve left your baggage at the door and embrace positivity! Essential oils can bring out the inner vibrations and shine within you – just like the six-pack abs you’re trying to bring out! Being happy, cheery, and positive is one of the best mind-sets you can have to achieve your weight loss goals!
This is one of the best essentials for weight reduction that you can have in your oil kit!

The overweight are not the only seekers of weight loss – diabetics are too. Cinnamon oil is one of the best essential oils for weight management because it’s completely safe for diabetics too! In fact, it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels to prevent weight gain, low energy, mood swings, and emotional and excess eating. What yummier way is there to get Cinnamon oil than in a slow glucose-releasing smoothie?
This list of metabolism boosting essential oils wouldn’t be complete without Ginger! But, what’s so great about Ginger oil? Ginger contains gingerols that have been proven to reduce disease-causing inflammation in the gut. By treating inflammation, you can absorb more nutrients, decrease body fat retention, and fight off gut-related sicknesses all at the same time!

Like Grapefruit essential oil, Lemon contains high levels of limonene that dissolves fat. When combined with Grapefruit, you have a power-packed recipe to increase lipolysis, boost your mood, and increase oxygen for the brain. What’s good for the brain has to be good for you too!
To suppress the appetite, Peppermint oil is all you need! It does it naturally while it relaxes muscles, improves digestion, and eliminates the bloat.

Tangerine or Mandarin – same thing! While many essential oil users may already know of its cellulite-fading, scar-minimizing, and skin-clearing benefits, it’s also a citrus oil that offers the same weight reduction benefits as its Lemon and Grapefruit cousins! For an appetite suppressing diffusion – this recipe is expert!
This fat-burning blend is made with many of the individual oils we have already talked about – Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, and Cinnamon!
