Aromatherapy for Cellulite

No matter how many times a day we go to the gym or how many diets we may be on, one of the most difficult things the get rid of is cellulite. Some times we may need an extra hand to get rid of this "hard fat" and the blend below is one I have used time and time again and has always proven to be very effective.

  • 100 ml of Sage carrier oil
  • 10 drops of Lavender essential oil
  • 10 drops of Marjoram essential oil
  • 10 drops of Rosemary essential oil
  • 10 drops of Geranium essential oil
  • 10 drops of Lemon essential oil
If you can not find Sage carrier oil, another option is to use any other carrier oil such as Almond or Olive and use 10 drops of Sage essential oil in it.

Mix the blend and massage your hips, thighs and belly. To specifically break down cellulite, it would be a good idea to use your knuckles, rolling and pinching techniques to really break down the fat. Also keep in mind that the detox effect is created when you work towards the lymph nodes. It also helps improve blood circulation. It is perfectly normal if it hurts a little bit, however the objective is to be firm and not to bruise the skin. If you do this everyday, in about 2-3 weeks you will notice your skin looking more firm and youthful, without the "orange peel" surface.
