Say Goodbye Cellulite with Essential Oils

We are well into summer and swimsuit season is now in full swing. One of the main concerns for virtually all women in swimsuit season is the dreaded C word ... cellulite ... that lumpy, dimpled texture, orange peel skin that seems to point in thighs, buttocks and back of the arms and is the shame and embarrassment that someone has been.

Cellulite affects nearly all women As you get older. Great scientific discoveries have uncovered the factors that cause cellulite.

Although there are three layers of fat under the skin, only the layer superior has to do with cellulite. Changes in connective tissue structure at the top of this layer of fat caused by pregnancy, structural, hormonal, vascular, genetics and aging, trigger the formation of cellulite fat that allows it extends deep into the dermis (the layer of skin beneath the outermost layer) which is what causes the characteristic appearance of cellulite nodular.

The hormones secreted in response to stress, particularly cortisol, also encourage to deposits of fat in problem areas. Pregnenolone is a precursor hormone from which all other hormones are created. It is an important precursor for the production of body of progesterone that blocks cortisol receptors.

Some of the essential oils that combat excess cortisol are balsam fir, Conyza, fennel, mint and frankincense essential oils.

MRI studies have shown that women with cellulite have columns as a pillar of the separation of the cameras fat, which are larger and deeper than those of men. These large vertical chambers can store a large amount of fat.

Collagen supporting tissues of the men, however, is more like a crosslinked network is organized into small diagonal chambers, which contain only small amounts of fat ... why men do not have cellulite.

Cellulite is mostly related to the basic structure or framework and relationship of adipose tissue in the tissue connective women. Scientists are now saying that cellulite is a disease of connective tissue is the product of connective tissue destruction and that the three main causes of cellulite is excess fat deposition, weakened connective tissue support structure and poor circulation.

fat storage and breakdown are controlled by two sets of special receptors called alpha and beta receptors on the surface of each fat cell. The beta receptors promote fat loss and are regulated by the hormone epinephrine, whereas alpha receptors prevent fat breakdown and promote fat storage.

In the case of cellulite alpha receptors outnumber beta receptors. Women also tend to be unfortunately more fat storage receptors than fat distribution alpha beta in the hips and thighs.

Increasing production in the body of the hormone-sensitive lipase and enzymes of the enzyme protein kinase A cells help break fat and released into the bloodstream and is a key component of helping to reduce fat and cellulite.

And connective tissue degeneration, poor circulation and lymphatic drainage can also aggravate and worsen cellulite. Exercise can stimulate adrenaline release, which may to some extent help reduce the appearance of cellulite, but not enough to completely eliminate cellulite. Increasing circulation will help increase lymph flow and help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Here are some essential oils to the rescue are well known to help with circulation, stimulates the lymphatic system and promoting the elimination of toxins and water retention, all of which help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Because some of these essential oils in particular are quite strong, they can be irritating to sensitive skin so it is important if you have sensitive skin, to dilute in a support base oil such as almond, jojoba, coconut, olive seed, grape and avocado oils. All of these oils are excellent for the skin.

Just make sure you are using an oil organic expeller pressed further in their natural raw state, so that their chemical composition has not been altered or destroyed and nurture their properties skin still intact.

Most of all oils when heated past 103 degrees Fahrenheit, with the exception of grape seed and coconut oil are destroyed, the chemical structure changes and can even become toxic. A good rule of thumb is that if you do not eat, then they should put on your skin because the skin it is absorbed into the body.

So here are the essential oils that help reduce the appearance of cellulite:

Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma and scopulorum) - It has been used for centuries as a diuretic and is excellent to relieve fluid retention. Recognized for its ability to detox and purification Juniper essential oil clears waste, promotes excretion of toxins and increases vascular circulation.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) - Rosemary heat increases and stimulates blood circulation and is particularly useful for circulatory problems of extremities. I stand for long periods of time and when the legs and calves swell, rubbing the essential oil of rosemary in them reduces swelling and edema in about 2 minutes. It is quite incredible for the fight against detention fluid and lymphatic congestion and it is very effective for cellulite and obesity (and very well to keep the legs from swelling during air travel too.)

Essential Oil Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) - This essential oil is best used for the circulatory system and improves circulation and strengthens the capillaries. It also helps in reducing fluid. It is excellent for varicose veins due to its vasoconstrictor effect.

Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) - Excellent for all skin types because of its ability to balance sebum. Improves blood flow, is a stimulant of the liver and pancreas and dilated bile ducts for liver detoxification. Geranium essential oil also helps balance hormones.

Lemon (Citrus limon) - Essential Oil Lemon is a stimulant for the circulatory system and improves microcirculation, strengthens the vascular tissues, which is used to treat varicose veins by improving the circulation and relieve pressure on the veins (along with the essential oil of cypress a 1 to 1).

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) - Lavender oil can also be used in the treatment of stretch marks.

Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) - Relieves congested skin and fat, which has a toning effect on skin and tissues. For this reason, it is a good oil to use in the treatment of cellulite.

Orange (Citrus sinensis) - There is some similarity between the skin and cellulite of an orange peel and could be one of the first clues that orange essential oil is an exceptional oil for reducing the appearance of cellulite. Orange essential oil is a diuretic and is ideal to relieve fluid retention, it also softens the skin, stimulates blood circulation and lymph fluids and is very useful in the treatment of inflamed tissues.

I mixed equal parts of orange, lemon, cypress and juniper essential oils and massage these oils directly on my skin with any oil company, but adding a few drops of oil base support may be a good idea if you have skin sensitive. I noticed a big difference in the appearance of cellulite in half an hour.
