We know that essential oils treat a host of conditions from allergies to headache. There is some evidence that when these highly concentrated oils are inhaled, diffused, or rubbed on key body parts, they may also help reduce cravings, burn fat, increase energy, and promote weight loss. If you have a healthy diet and get regular exercise, some of these oils may help you shed pounds.
Ginger oil
Topping the list of essential oils for weight loss is ginger oil, which supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and eases sugar cravings, Axe says. (This is one of the reasons some restaurants offer ginger candies to guests and why ginger is a common treatment for nausea.) “Ginger oil also serves as a thermogenic agent, which means that it can help to burn fat and boost your metabolism.” Try adding two drops of ginger oil to the belly button, or your want to lose weight body areas rub it.
