There are so many good uses of essential oils. You may already use some in your life or know someone who does. Whether you use them to help clean up the house a bit or to relieve some stress or improve your mood, you can probably already make a list of all the neat things that you can pull out these oils to do.

But if you are only using the essential oils to perk up your mood or fight off stress, then you are really missing out on some of the neat things that you can do with these essential oils. And that is why we will take some time here to look at a few unexpected uses for essential oils for your needs.

Curb Some of Your Cravings

Many people find that it is difficult to fight off some of those cravings for a tasty dessert at the end of the day. But if you are worried about the amount of sugar that you take in or you would like to fight off weight, it is important to keep that sugar and dessert down to a minimum. One of the methods that you can use to help make this happen is to work with essential oils.

Any time that you notice a craving kicks in and you find it difficult to fight that craving, then you can consider an essential oil to fight it off. Ginger and frankincense are two options that will help you to not feel the sugar cravings and will even make the home smell good at the same time. You can also make it more effective by having a healthy snack or drink at the same time so that you can trick the brain into doing something good for it, rather than reaching for those bad snacks that you do not need.

Curbs Your Nausea

No one wants to feel nauseous all the time, but some of the methods that you may use traditionally are going to be difficult to use and harmful to your health, especially if the cause of the sickness is due to pregnancy. There are different reasons why you may feel this way sometimes, such as a bad smell, pregnancy, or stomach problems. The next time that you have this feeling, rather than reaching towards medication, you can look into some peppermint essential oil to help instead.

This is a unique scent that will cancel out the nausea and will provide you with the relief that you need. And you don’t even need to ingest it. You just need to take a sniff of it and you will find that it can calm down the stomach and make you feel better. In some cases, you can get longer-lasting relief by adding it to some coconut oil and rub it onto your neck or chest.
