Cellulite Control Patricia Davis in Aromatherapy An A-Z, says that cellulite came from the word cellutitis which was a medical condition used to describe inflamed cellular tissue usually resulting from an infection. Then the term started being used by alternative practitioners and the beauty field to refer to "infiltration of the subcutaneous fat cells by fluids and toxic waste." The medical professionals said that was not true and the word cellulite was born to describe this kind of fat condition. Cellulite is real and affects women. It is a fat condition, but there is a puckering associated with this fat and it is sometimes called orange peel skin. Cellulite tends to mean that the person is sedentary with a poor lymphatic system and sluggish elimination so that the body stores toxins that it is unable to eliminate and the toxins go into the fat. It is not just a beauty issue. Ridding the body of cellulite will not only allow the person to be thinner but healthier. Jeanne Rose's book, The Aromatherapy Book of Application and Inhalation gives a five-step program to rid cellulite.
Cellulite Baths:
Fill the tub with warm water. Add a cup of apple cider vinegar. In a separate bottle, measure out these essential oils. Enter the bath and add the essential oils making sure that you disperse them with your hand well. Soak for approximately 30 minutes. You may need to have some olive oil to add to the water or your skin if it tingles or burns. Some of these oils are considered hot and heat the skin and water.
