There are many ways to use essential oils. The external use of such products helps to improve skin tone as well as normalize its elasticity. Against the background of the use of such cosmetic products, the signs of cellulite also decrease. And also in some essential oils there are components that have a kind of "drainage" effect. This action is manifested by the fact that excess fluid is excreted from the body, which also leads to weight loss.

Essential oil is good for the body. Many products can not only be used externally, but also taken internally. Against the background of such a reception, the metabolism improves, which leads to an acceleration in the loss of extra pounds. The advantage of this method of use also lies in the fact that the herbal components included in the product have a beneficial effect on the functioning of internal organs, which leads to improved health.

Some manufacturers of oil products, in order to increase sales of their products, note that essential products help to "burn" excess fat in the body. Nutritionists advise their patients not to believe such an assurance.

The process of losing weight is also facilitated by the components contained in essential oils, which can suppress appetite. The feeling of constant hunger makes many people to eat often, which inevitably leads to a set of extra pounds. If the appetite is within the normal range, then the likelihood of additional centimeters on the body is reduced.

Essential oils for weight loss are different. To normalize weight, they can be used either one at a time or in combination. You can find effective products at the pharmacy. You should choose quality products. In this case, it will be much easier to achieve the desired result.

The table below lists oil products that can help speed up weight loss.

One of the most effective ways to lose weight is, of course, diet. Such food limits the calorie content of the diet. Some diets involve the exclusion of all sweets containing "fast" carbohydrates from the menu. Such restrictions often lead to decreased mood and even the development of depressive disorders. Essential oils are used to restore the nervous system.

So, in the oil of grapefruit, sandalwood and ylang-ylang there are substances that have a positive effect on mood. The following oil based products also help stabilize the functioning of the nerves:

• roses;
• lavender;
• orange.

Weight loss experts recommend using these products for aromatherapy. A small amount of the product can be added to the aroma lamp and then inhaled with pleasure.

Essential oils can be used for more than just external use. Some of them are drinkable. In order to achieve the desired result, with this use of oil products, you should pay attention to the recommendations of specialists.

• Adding a few drops of lemon oil to a glass of water can help you lose weight.It is recommended to drink this mixture on an empty stomach. People who have difficulty with regular bowel movements should drink this lemon water a little chilled.
• In no case should you ingest undiluted concentrated essential oil. It must be diluted. Most often, ordinary water is used for this.
• Do not forget about dosages. To improve metabolic processes in the body, it is enough to use just a couple of drops of an essential oil agent. Exceeding the recommended dosages can lead to the development of negative side effects of oils.

There can be several ways to use oil products. Weight loss experts recommend combining them. In their opinion, this will speed up the achievement of the desired result. But also if one of the options did not fit, then in this case you can replace it with another. The main thing is not to give up in the process of losing weight, and also to maintain a positive attitude in spite of everything.

This option is used mainly for processing anatomical areas where extra centimeters are present. Massage the problem area with essential oil should be carried out within a few minutes. In this case, you need to massage along the massage lines. This will help improve the flow of lymph, which means it will contribute to the lymphatic drainage effect.

The course of such a massage should include 10-12 procedures. If necessary, this course can be repeated several times a year. At the same time, various essential oils can be used for massage.

This method of weight normalization is perhaps one of the most effective. Nutritionists note that it is impossible to get rid of extra pounds just through wrapping, but you can still slightly improve your figure. After 2-4 procedures, as a rule, the skin tone improves, as well as the signs of cellulite decrease.

The mixture for wrapping must contain a "base". For this, an oil with a "neutral" composition is selected. Such a product should not contain many active ingredients that can provoke the appearance of adverse symptoms. Often, sunflower or olive oil is used as a base oil for this procedure. These products are fairly affordable and can be purchased at any store.

Weight loss experts recommend choosing different oils as base oils. For example, sesame oil is suitable for people with signs of cellulite. Olive oil can also be substituted with corn oil if desired.

There are wraps where fermented milk products are used as the base ingredient. At the same time, it is recommended to choose products with an average fat content. So, to carry out the wrapping, it is completely unnecessary to buy low-fat kefir. For this procedure, you can use any kefir, as well as sour cream.

You can combine essential oils not only with fermented milk products and base oils. To improve your figure, you can prepare a mixture that contains bee honey and essential oil. It is worth noting that it is not worth doing such honey wraps for people with delicate sensitive skin. After such procedures, severe irritation may appear on it. It is better to choose honey procedures for people who have skin that is not prone to the appearance of various lesions and rashes.

Choosing body wraps for weight loss is recommended for people who have enough time for this procedure.It takes quite a long time for all the plant components contained in essential oils to take effect. Usually one such body treatment lasts 35-40 minutes. To improve your mood while wrapping, you can listen to your favorite music or watch some interesting TV series.

Wrapping with effective oils is pretty straightforward. It is recommended to take a hygienic shower first. This stage is mandatory, since you need to apply any mixtures to previously cleansed skin. After showering, apply a small amount of essential oil, such as cypress, to your skin.

In order for the oil to be better distributed over the skin, it must first be mixed with a "base", which can be used as fermented milk products and vegetable oils. After applying the oil mixture, you need to do a light self-massage. This will help to better distribute foods throughout the body. The massage is recommended for a few minutes. After that, the problem area of ​​the body is wrapped with plastic wrap.

It is necessary to wrap the anatomical area several times. Next, you need to put on warm clothes. For example, if the problem area is the upper thighs, then you need to wear warm pants or insulated leggings. If the wrapping affects the abdomen, then a T-shirt is put on, and then a warm jacket. The best warming effect can be obtained by using a blanket. To do this, you should first put on warm clothes on yourself, and then go to bed and cover yourself with a warm blanket.

At the end of the procedure, all clothing and plastic wrap from the body must be removed and then re-shower. This is necessary in order to wash off the remnants of oil products from the skin. The course of such home care should include 10-12 procedures. During this time, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the visual signs of cellulite, as well as an improvement in the figure in general.

If there is no time for wrapping, then in this case, you can use the "secret" method used by some models. To improve skin tone and reduce signs of cellulite, they use oil products during their regular body care. So, they add a couple of drops of citrus oil to the shower gel while washing, and then intensively rub the mixture onto the body. To improve the effect, it is recommended to use a hard washcloth. This intense rubbing will help improve the blood supply to the areas that are being treated. This helps to improve skin tone, and also prevents the appearance of "orange peel".

Warm water not only helps to relax, but can also help improve your figure. Aromatic baths with the addition of various oil products are a good method to reduce the visual signs of cellulite. This method is suitable for many, as it does not require many ingredients, and at the same time it brings a lot of pleasure.

Body shaping aroma bath mixtures vary. To prepare one of them, you will need to mix 6 drops of juniper and rosemary oils. And also you need to add 8 drops of citrus oil to the mixture (you can take lemon or grapefruit). It is recommended to use fatty milk as a base component.

Making an aroma bath is quite simple. First, you need to pour warm water into it, and only then - the prepared butter-milk mixture. It is very important to thoroughly dissolve the mixture in water. The duration of one such procedure should be 35 minutes. After that, you need to take a shower to remove all residues of oil products from the skin. For the best effect, while washing, you can rub problem areas with a hard washcloth.

Scrubbing problem areas of the body helps to improve skin tone and reduce the "orange peel". The use of a scrub also helps to speed up the metabolic processes that take place in the skin. Against the background of using such a cosmetic product, the skin becomes smoother and more even.

In order to make a scrub at home, you can use different essential oils, for example, orange. It is quite simple to make such a cosmetic product. To do this, you need to mix a little ground coffee, a few drops of an oily essential product, and then dilute everything with shower gel.

It should be noted that it is impossible to apply concentrated oil products containing many plant components directly to the skin. This can lead to a chemical burn to the skin, which will require treatment. And also when treating the skin with concentrated essential oils, the likelihood of allergic rashes increases. In order to avoid the appearance of such unfavorable symptoms, other components are used in addition to oils for wrapping.

If you have an individual intolerance to a product, you cannot use it. And also the use of essential oils for people who are allergic to a particular product is limited. For example, if a person has an allergic pathology, and his body does not “react” well to citrus fruits, then he should refuse to use orange or grapefruit oil.

Many people find that essential oils have helped them improve their figure. There are many positive reviews about citrus oils. Wraps and massages with these oil products have helped many obese people improve their figure.

But there are also negative reviews. Some note that even after a course of using this or that essential oil, they did not notice any positive result. At the same time, they note that only through the use of such oil products they did not manage to get rid of extra centimeters on the body.
