Weight Loss - The Natural, effective and Healthy Way!

Lose weight NOW! Aromatherapy and Scent ...

The sense of smell is the only one of the five senses directly linked to the limbic lobe of the brain, the emotional control center.

Anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and joy all emanate from this region. The limbic lobe (a group of brain structures that includes the hippocampus and amygdala) can directly activate the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, acting as our hormonal control center. It releases chemical messengers that can affect everything from sex drive to energy levels, and yes this includes weight loss. The production of growth hormones, sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, are all governed by the hypothalamus. This is why many refer to the hypothalamus as the
‘MASTER GLAND’.




Essential Oils Used to Reduce Appetite

Essential oils may be used to reduce appetite and produce significant reductions in weight because of their ability to stimulate the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus, a section of the brain that governs our feeling of satiety or fullness following meals.

In a large clinical study, Alan R Hirsch, M.D., F.A.C.P., (Journal of Annals of Clinical and Laboratory Science) used fragrances, including peppermint, to trigger significant weight losses in a large group of patients who had previously been unsuccessful in any type of weight-management program. During the course of the six-month study involving over 3,000 people, the average weight loss exceeded 30 pounds. According to Dr. Hirsch, some patients had to be dropped from the study early because no more weight could be lost without becoming underweight.

Dr. Hirsch' book Scentsational Weight Loss shows through years of research, Dr. Alan Hirsch has determined that what we smell can influence what and how much we eat. This revolutionary new book teaches them to literally sniff away excess pounds and break their old patterns of eating, thereby losing the weight they keep fighting against.

Equally as important to the above information is having an understanding of the role a healthy liver plays in metabolizing fat. The body stores environmental toxins in our fat cells to save them from being deposited in our organs and wreaking havoc. Toxins saturate the cells with a filmy layer and prevent them from taking in nutrition. This initiates a cycle where more fat cells are produced to store more toxins and you can see
where this leads.

Healthy Liver

Essential oils digest the filmy layer that saturates the cell wall and the essential oil’s high content of oxygen carries nutrients directly into the cell. Essential oils are also natural expectorants, meaning they are going to push all the toxins out of storage for the body to eliminate. It is vitally important to support healthy liver function with any weight loss program.
Young Living has the world-class selection of products enhanced with therapeutic grade essential oils to assist with healthy digestive, liver and colon function.


SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Volumes of research and clinical trials have validated the benefit of using certain scents to lose weight. Unlike many weight loss products on the market, Aromatherapy and the study of Scent is backed by over 25 years of data. Studies have consistently shown that scents alone can curb the appetite and promote weight loss.

In one study, Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation explored whether certain scents might help people lose weight. A leading expert in the science of smell, Dr. Hirsch had noticed that many of his patients who had lost their sense of smell began to gain weight. He hypothesized that smell and hunger must be related. To study his theory, Hirsch gave 3,193 overweight subjects scent inhalers and told them to inhale them throughout the day whenever they had cravings and before each meal. Participants were told not to alter their weight loss routine in any other way. After 6 months, study participants who frequently used the inhalers lost an average of 30 pounds, or about 5 pounds per month! Dr. Hirsch concluded that by simply sniffing certain scents, people could shed pounds, without any conscious change in diet or exercise. “It’s all a matter of fooling the brain”. Satisfaction, he maintains, comes not from a full stomach, but from the brain interpreting the scent as food eaten. The primary factor in determining how much weight the participants lost was the frequency with which they used the scent inhalers. Simply put, the more you use Scent, the better it works!
Similar research done at the Human Neuro-Sensory Laboratory in Washington, D.C. also supports those previous findings. Researchers gave 80 people one of two scent inhalation devices. The first contained a combination of specially selected scents while the other was a placebo. Subjects were asked to inhale the scents three times before and after each meal. At the end of the six-month trial, participants who used the scents lost an average of 19 pounds while the placebo group lost only an average of 4 pounds. This study proves in a randomized, double blind fashion, that the inhalation of specially formulated scents is effective in appetite control, reduction of food cravings, and weight loss.

In yet another study, researchers at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia studied the effects of scent on research participants’ appetites. Participants who were exposed to the scent used in Aromatherapy consumed nearly 3000 fewer total calories from saturated fat, total fat, and sugar each week. That’s about 23% less calories based on an 1800 calorie/day diet for 7 days. Participants also rated their hunger level significantly lower during the scent inhalation. According to the researchers, “the primary implication of these results is that scent can be used as an effective adjunct to decrease appetite, decrease hunger cravings, and consume fewer calories, which may lead to weight reduction and greater overall heath”.

With a success rate of almost 100%, the use of specific scents to aid in weight loss has been proven in case studies over and over again. Specific Essential Oils simply makes you feel fuller sooner without hunger or deprivation. In fact, many people using Aromatherapy have reported that they didn’t even realize they were consuming so fewer calories until they weighed themselves at the end of the month and discovered how much weight they had lost. Others said they were pleasantly surprised to notice that they began leaving food on their plates because they just couldn’t eat as much. Still others noted that by simply using specific essential oils via a diffuser while at work, they no longer had the urge to visit the snack machine throughout the day. Essential Oils can be used in conjunction with any Personal Diffuser Pendants and Young Living Supplements. A diet and exercise routine to lose even more weight than simply diet alone is also key!
