To lose weight well, you need to moderate your appetite, which not every one of us can do. Aromatherapy, body wraps, anti-cellulite and soothing baths, massage using certain essential (aromatic) oils will help not only curb appetite, but also improve the appearance and condition of the skin, restore skin elasticity, and get rid of cellulite.
The benefits and effectiveness of essential oils for weight loss.
The value of oils is due to their rich and complex composition, each oil has its own unique properties, which are quite actively used in the field of cosmetology and medicine. For weight loss, you should choose oils with a calming and relaxing effect, which have the ability to remove excess fluid from the body and reduce hunger.
It is known that in a state of stress, we begin to indiscriminately absorb everything that is in the refrigerator, or purchase not quite healthy and high-calorie foods in the store. Stress itself, plus rapidly increasing weight, provokes the appearance of even more appetite, and, as a result, excess weight. Essential oils can help prevent this. Soothe and relax, help relieve stress such essential oils: ylang-ylang, orange, jasmine, lavender, rose, bergamot.
Often the cause of excess weight is the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, which leads to a violation of metabolic processes and water-salt balance. Essential oils with a diuretic effect help get rid of excess fluid, preventing the development of edema. Plus, they get rid of toxins and restore metabolism. Oils with such properties include lemon, juniper, fennel, rosemary, grapefruit, geranium, ginger, cypress, and cardamom.
Today, with food readily available on every corner, we no longer stick to any kind of routine. During the day, we constantly chew something, and many continue to do this at night. To control your desire to chew something, even if you are not hungry, use essential oils. They effectively eliminate the feeling of hunger, which is due to the content of ether easily absorbed into the blood, which activates metabolic processes. These oils include mint, rosemary, fennel, lemongrass, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg. Just carry a small bottle of one of the essential oils with you and inhale its aroma whenever you want to eat something your body does not need (high-calorie sweets, pastries, fast food, etc.).
Oils will help not only to lose weight, but at the same time tighten, rejuvenate the skin, eliminate the manifestations of cellulite and prevent the occurrence of stretch marks (stretch marks), which is especially important with significant weight loss. Anise, citrus, jasmine, ylang-ylang, patchouli, cypress, geranium, bergamot, and guarana oils give the greatest effect.
The use of essential oils for weight loss.
Oils can be used in different ways: added to mixtures for massage, included in compositions for wraps, taken with them in baths, used in aromatherapy (aroma lamps, aroma incense burners, aroma pendants) and even for internal use. In the latter option, it is important to follow the dosage exactly and take into account contraindications. You should consult your doctor before using essential oils, regardless of how you use them, you should do an allergy test. All of these methods give a tangible effect of losing weight, while the production of collagen and elastin is activated, vascular tone increases, and skin condition improves. In procedures aimed at weight loss, the amount of essential components and their volume will be greater than in skin care procedures.
An excellent base for dissolving essential oils (for any massage procedure, body wraps, rubbing) is jojoba, olive, grape seed and almond oil, you can also use ready-made cosmetic lotions, creams, milk.

For those who do not have enough time for baths and massages, a kind of express procedure is provided - a shower with a scrub with essential oils. Only this method is not suitable for weight loss, but it improves skin condition, fights cellulite. Such procedures improve microcirculation, as a result, elasticity increases and smoothness gradually returns.

Many people like wraps with clay, honey, coffee, even seaweed. They can be used to maintain the beauty and youthfulness of the skin, after childbirth - to restore the turgor of the skin, as well as during and after the course of dietary nutrition - in order to prevent sagging of the skin, which can occur with sudden weight loss.
Why are oils so useful?
Ladies of "elegant" age speak of oil wraps with special approval. The fact is that upon reaching the age of 35-40, the skin gradually begins to become drier, prone to loss of moisture, which means it lacks nutrients and vitamins.
Oils - such as olive, burdock, almond - contain many substances necessary to maintain our skin in good condition. And if you add a little essential oils - the effect will increase significantly. Remember the beauties of the youth of mankind: for the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Rome, olive oil was one of the most important cosmetics. And without any plastic surgery, these women looked great until old age! Let's try some of their secrets, shall we?
Before buying all kinds of essential oils in a pharmacy, let's find out for ourselves which of them can bring the greatest benefit to the skin.
- Firstly, it is citrus fruits (oils of grapefruit, orange, lemon). They prevent the appearance of stretch marks and have an anti-cellulite effect.
- Blood circulation enhancers include cinnamon oil and rosemary oil. The latter, by the way, eliminates fluid stagnation, which is often the cause of edema.
- Do you want to look younger - and not only visually, but also according to your own feelings? Take ylang ylang oil.
Popular oil wrap recipes
In general, the choice is very wide. But this does not mean that you can indiscriminately mix many oils in one wrap. This can cause allergies. Better do it a little differently: use one or two types of essential oils in one wrap. By the way, they cannot be used in their pure form! You should take the base oil (walnut, almond, even just cold-pressed vegetable oil) in a volume that is enough for the whole body, and add 5-10 drops of the selected essential oil to it. Only such a mixture can be applied to the body.
Decided on the type of essential oil? Then let's get started. Let's start with, perhaps, the most loved by women for the wonderful aroma of orange oil. For this wrap we take:
- - a couple of tablespoons of base oil;
- - a couple of tablespoons of honey;
- - 5 to 10 drops of orange oil.
We mix everything. Before adding the ether, the mixture can be slightly warmed up. Apply a thin layer all over the body. Pleasant sensations? And what a scent! Even a slushy autumn evening will cheer you up! Now we wrap ourselves in cling film, on top - in a blanket and wait. How much to wait? Depends on how you feel and your patience. But in any case, you should not keep the mixture for more than an hour. Then wash off the mask with warm water and lubricate the body with your favorite cream. That's it, the session is over for today.
- If you want to diversify the oil wrap, add clay to it. You can take one bag of any cosmetic clay (blue, white, pink), dilute with water until a thick mixture is formed, similar to sour cream, and then add 4 drops of essential oil (orange, anise, lemon) dissolved in the base oil. It is necessary to wrap the whole body with cling film so that air does not get inside, and warm up under the covers for about 50 minutes.
- A very pleasant sensation is a pure oil wrap, which is performed as follows. You need to prepare 4 tablespoons of olive oil and literally 4-5 drops of essential oil - for example, juniper, rosemary, orange. Then, as with other wraps, you need to carefully cover all areas of the body on which the oil is applied with plastic wrap to create the effect of a sauna. You can put a blanket over the top. After an hour, the oil should be gently washed off in a warm shower.
- Olive oil helps a lot with the manifestations of cellulite. And if you want to further enhance the effect, then try this recipe: mix 1 whole glass of olive oil and sea salt, pour a little water into the mixture and heat quite a bit. The salt should dissolve slightly. This composition should also be applied to the skin for about an hour. In this case, sea salt will act as a metabolic catalyst and will be able to “pull out” toxins and toxins from the skin. This wrap can be done once a week with a course of 10 procedures.
- Sweet honey lovers can arrange a honey-oil session by combining together a base oil (for example, almond), honey and a few drops of ether: lemon, rosemary, cypress. Honey will nourish the skin, saturating it with useful substances, and essential oils will speed up the process of "delivery" of these substances to their destination.
- If your goal is not only to moisturize the skin and supply it with vitamins, but also to lose some weight, you can wrap with the following composition of ingredients: coffee, salt and orange oil. Salt will relieve swelling, supply the skin with iodine, and “work” as an adsorbent. Ground coffee will serve as both a mild scrub and a fat-breaking agent. Orange oil will enhance the effect of both ingredients and add a warming effect. You can take the components in the following proportions: a glass of sea salt, 50 g of coffee, 5 drops of oil and a little water. Salt and coffee also go well with olive oil. The duration of the wrapping procedure should not exceed one hour.
If your skin is very sensitive, do not experiment with honey and coffee - they can cause irritation. Instead, wrap with clay of any color and oil - preferably "neutral", such as jojoba, almond, grape seed oil. Clay is known as a wonderful cosmetic product and is also able to fight cellulite and stretch marks, besides, it does it very gently.
Clay can also be added to the mixture when you make a body wrap with cinnamon oil. It is generally believed that cinnamon in powder form is suitable for cosmetic procedures, but cinnamon oil is no less valuable in its qualities. It is an excellent antioxidant, improves blood and lymph circulation. Dropping 5 drops of cinnamon oil into two tablespoons of base oil, combine the aromatic mixture with red clay. All the ingredients of this wrap perfectly complement and enhance each other's action.
Are you hotter or colder?
Want something "hot"? Mustard wraps will be invaluable in this case. Mustard will warm up perfectly, increase blood flow, and this is very important. Especially in "problem" places where the flow of blood and lymph is disturbed, as a result of which stagnation occurs. In addition, mustard contributes to the rapid separation of the dead layer of the epithelium, making room for new, young cells.
A couple of tablespoons of mustard powder, combined with four tablespoons of liquid honey and 4 drops of orange oil, will have a wonderful effect on the skin, refreshing and tightening it. Only when you add a little water to the miraculous mixture, do not pour too hot. Maximum - up to 45°C.
Another recipe that helps to gain a slim figure requires the use of the following products: pepper, mustard and olive oil. We already know about the properties of mustard, but how will pepper help? It turns out that it has a similar effect: it warms up perfectly and increases blood flow. No body fat can resist the combined efforts of two such powerful overweight fighters. Well, for ease of absorption and supply of vitamins to the skin, add 4 tablespoons of olive oil to them. You can also drop essential - any of the citrus fruits, rosemary.
This mask, covered with a film, should be kept on the body for no more than 50 minutes. You may feel a slight burning sensation. But if this sensation intensifies and ceases to be pleasant, wash off the mixture without waiting for the end of the scheduled time. After all, you don’t want to get burned instead of smooth pink skin, do you?
If cold wraps are more comfortable for you, try this: soak 300 g of seaweed in cold water for about 2 hours and add a spoonful of olive oil to them. If you purchased kelp not in whole thalli, but in the form of a powder, then 2 tablespoons will suffice. As a nice bonus, you can add a few drops of rosemary.
Another cold wrap recipe is as follows. Take:
- - cosmetic clay (1 pack);
- - base oil (4 tablespoons);
- - mint oil (5 drops).
Mix it all up and apply on the body. Mint gives an additional light cooling effect. You can add peppermint oil to wraps with vinegar, with chilled green tea, with kelp.

- - suffer from skin diseases;
- - have had any oncological disease;

Cellulite is a problem for many modern women, which is not as easy to deal with as it might seem at first glance. Sometimes no amount of diet and exercise helps in the fight against the notorious “orange peel” on the hips, buttocks and stomach. However, do not rush to beauty salons: anti-cellulite body wraps at home will help you quickly solve this problem.
Basic rules for anti-cellulite body wraps at home
What are anti-cellulite body wraps? A specially prepared mixture is applied to problem areas of the body covered with "orange peel", and a greenhouse (thermal) effect is created due to wrapping. The composition of the mixtures includes active substances that improve subcutaneous microcirculation. But it is violations in the lymph and blood circulation that are the main causes of cellulite.
In order for home anti-cellulite wraps to bring maximum results, you need to be able to do them correctly. If you strictly adhere to certain rules listed below, you can expect the fastest effect from wrapping procedures - weight loss and the disappearance of the "orange peel".
1. Before wrapping, take a hot bath for at least 20 minutes so that the pores of the body expand and are ready to receive active substances from the anti-cellulite mixture.
2. Apply a scrub to problem areas of the body and thoroughly clean the skin so that no impurities interfere with the penetration of beneficial substances.
3. The prepared mixture is applied only to places with an “orange peel” and always in a thick layer.
4. The most important point is wrapping with cling film, which must be applied from the bottom up so that it tightly fits the body, but does not squeeze it.
5. On top of the film, the body is covered with something warm (shawl, scarf, etc.).
6. Strictly observe the wrapping time: it is different for each mixture, but the principle “the longer the better” does not work here.
7. The mixture is washed off with warm water under the shower. Try to do without gels and soaps.
8. Apply an anti-cellulite cream (any cream) to the treated area after a shower.
9. Anti-cellulite wraps are best done every three days. The course - 10 procedures, it will be possible to repeat it in a month.
After you have familiarized yourself with the technology of anti-cellulite body wraps at home, you can proceed to the choice of the recipe itself. Pay special attention to the ingredients: you should not be allergic to them. You can try several mixtures to see which ones suit your body the most.
