Overcome your food cravings with alternative therapies

The food urges if they are not stopped or controlled can very often lead to overweight or even obesity through eating disorders such as bulimia for example. Very often, these impulses are uncontrollable and prevent us from having a monopoly on our own choices, our own life. We are addicted to this thing that climbs inside us, forcing us to ingest a lot of food in a short time. This irrational appetite is often a sign of a deep malaise that we rarely take the time to analyze.

To fill one's stomach is to fill an emptiness, to fill a lack, to plug an emotional hole.

The satiety is taken in charge by our hormones, just like our impulses they are directed by the neurotransmitters which are in charge of regulating our emotions but also our plate. It is then important and crucial in case of eating disorders, or instinctive impulses towards food to see what is happening at the level of emotions.

 

Natural solutions are always possible.

Herbal medicine can help you to overcome deep-seated disorders if you have defined them, but also to support you in your goals of getting back on track.

In aromatherapy, for example, it is quite possible to breathe in certain oils that will calm your food urges such as, for example, the essential oil of Ceylon Cinnamon (bark) - Cinnamomum Zeylanicum - or the essence of Bergamot - Citrus Bergamia - which have a direct action on your cravings and your cravings.

To cut your hunger if it is too invasive, we strongly advise you against "drug" appetite suppressants that are very popular but can be very harmful to your health over time. Instead, opt for aromatherapy by choosing certain essential oils that will be able to alleviate these food desires by calming and regulating your voracious appetite. The essential oil of mandarin - Citrus reticulata - is ideal in this case:

Podrop on a neutral tablet and allow to melt under the tongue. To be used sparingly, maximum 6 times a day.

With hydrolatherapy - flower water therapy - it is also possible to work gently without disturbing or violently threatening the body.

Excessive eating could be seen as an addiction like alcohol or tobacco and it is quite possible to compose a synergy of hydrolats that you can take in each state of "crisis".

  • Hydrolat of Bergamot - Citrus Bergamia
  • Orange Blossom Hydrolate - Citrus Aurantium
  • Hydrolat of Myrtle - Myrtus Communis
  • Hydrolat champaca - Michelia Alba

By making a spray composed of these 4 different floral waters, you will be able to soothe your anxieties at any time.

However, in parallel to the emotional repairs, it is also important to stimulate the metabolism a little by imposing a light detoxification and depurative to support this new hygiene of life. Here again, we opt for the gentleness of hydrolats so as not to rush the body.

  • Hydrolat of champaca - Michelia Alba - will help you if you have an excessive need for sugar, in case of intense bulimia;
  • Sandalwood Hydrosol - Santalum Album - if you have a problem with feeling full;
  • Jasmine Hydrolat - Jasmimum Officinalis - if you suffer from digestive and metabolic weakness;
  • Hydrolat of Sage Officinale - Salvia Officinalis - in case of excessive appetite;
  • Common Juniper Hydrosol - Juniperus Communis - if you suffer from water retention, uric acid and emotional apathy;

By choosing the hydrosol that best suits you, you can start a 40-day treatment by simply drinking 1 liter of water to which you have added 1 tablespoon of the chosen hydrosol (you can combine several hydrosols).

Treating your weight problem is not only a question of food hygiene, it is important to target the emotional and deep-rooted causes that can lead to these cravings and nutritional urges. Of course, a medical check-up is important to rule out any physiological problem that needs to be treated urgently.
