Help Essential oils 101

[Scott Stevenson]

BC,

I'd go to New Life Health Center and speak with them. They have business cards for a number of practitioners there in town who specialize in various forms of alternative therapies.

The Young Living brand of essential oils (and their diffusers) are a good place to start. (Their online guide will help you find what you might like.)

I'd not expect essential oils in and of themselves to be a primary driving force in promoting fat loss or elevating metabolism, but the oils can help with relaxation, ease in falling asleep, have anti-microbial effects, etc. (E.g.. if you're dieting and have trouble sleeping, the oils could help with that.)

Alexander - BC's asking about oils derived from various plants that are used in small amounts for medicinal purposes, rather than dietary oils used in larger amounts that contribute significantly to one's macronutrient intake.
