Emily's Quest - Part 4 of 4 - Tame Those Cravings!

No one likes to feel self-conscious when out in public, whether it's worrying about your complexion, your body odor, your adorable little sweeties or even your appetite!  This post is going to share a safe, effective and natural way to help you control your cravings.

Did you know that Peppermint Essential Oil can help curb your appetite???  It’s true!  Research done at Wheeling Jesuit University concluded that inhaling Peppermint lead to decreased appetite and hunger cravings. (Effects of Peppermint Scent on Appetite Control and Caloric Intake)  Some easy ways to give it a try would be to put a single drop of Peppermint EO in a glass of water, or apply it topically so that the scent sends triggers to your brain.  Read the NYT article about Smell Turns up in Unexpected Places for a better understanding of how the brain works when triggered by smells.  

Peppermint EO can also offer an afternoon pick me up!  Even just a whiff of the bottle can get me going again.  Peppermint EO is known to support normal digestion and is energizing!
