A primary contributor to obesity today is depression and anxiety. In fact according to the National Centre for Eating Disorders, “feelings such as anger, guilt, sadness and anxiety can often trigger episodes of overeating.”  Research suggests that lavender essential oil can potentially help calm stress and anxiety and suppress the triggers that cause emotional eating. Lavender can also lower cortisol levels, the stress hormone that makes your body hold on to excess fat, making it harder for you to lose weight.  By slowly inhaling Lavender, the scent enters the amygdala, the brain’s center for emotions, and helps to relax feelings of anxiety and stress.

Extracted from the sweet-smelling jasmine flower, a study suggests that the smell of Jasmine is ‘as calming as valium.’ Jasmine oil has been used for centuries to remedy anxiety, insomnia and depression and research proves that jasmine can help to relieve depression and uplift the mood. This makes it an excellent essential oil to use if you are struggling to lose weight and can’t control cravings and turn to food when you’re feeling low or have trouble falling asleep at night (which can lead to late night binge eating).  Before eating, inhale jasmine essential oil, which will calm the senses and help prevent overeating.

We combined these two powerful oils to achieve an intense sense of calming.  A true sensory oasis.
